When I wanted to start testing GIMP a few seconds later, I needed to push Ctrl+Alt+some F key and then Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back the desktop. Just pushing keys, moving the mouse with and without turning off and on the display didn't work.

During a test with just a single layer, without copy and paste, just using a few tools, it did _not_ crash. I don't know if its stable, it's to time consuming to continue testing. It at least didn't crash during a not so hard test.

The grid doesn't work correctly, it requires to close and open GIMP again to get new grid settings. This is what I experienced when using it on Arch Linux, too.

With single window mode disabled, it's needed to select "always on to" by the dock windows each time GIMP is opened. This might be related to the DE. IIRC on Arch Linux with openbox I don't need to do it, the GIMP dock windows automatically stay on top.
