Anyone have problems with GIMP on x86_64 and 8.10?

[R Kimber]

I don't seem to be able to get Gimp to do anything.  None of the tools
work.

Since I've also been having some mouse issues, I'm not sure whether
it's due to that, or whether it's a Gimp problem. Other applications
seem to be OK (those tried so far).  I notice that the 2.6 Gimp Toolbox
does not have any menu items.  Is this by design, or is it indicative
of a problem?

I'm getting to the stage where I'll have to think about moving to
another distro if I can't solve the problems soon.
