GIMP auto-close
GIMP has been closing automatically after I "save as". I cannot find an option in GIMP's preferences to stop that. GIMP did not automatically close after using "save as" under Trisquel 4.0.1, yet now it does under Trisquel 6.0. I think it is probably a Trisquel issue, though it might be a GIMP issue. Does anybody else have this problem?
Update
The problem seems to only happen when saving as a PNG.
If you feel like building GIMP from source, you can try the attached script.
I haven't actually tested this script. What's in the script are really just my notes on what I needed to do to build GIMP on a fresh installation of Trisquel 6.0.

I get a 403 Forbidden error when trying to download this file.
This is a known bug
You might want to run GIMP from the command line to see if you get an error message when it closes.
Running GIMP on the command line produces the following error message:
(gimp:10703): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_model_get: assertion `GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL (tree_model)' failed
(script-fu:10707): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: gimp_wire_read(): error Segmentation fault
end of error message
How do you stop the underscores from turning into underlines?
Here's the script:
#!/bin/bash
# Build script for GNU Image Manipulation Program 2.8 on Trisquel 6.0.
GIMP_INSTALL_DIRECTORY="/opt/gimp"
if [ ! -d "$GIMP_INSTALL_DIRECTORY" ]; then
RANDOM_TMP=$RANDOM
mkdir -p /tmp/gimp-$RANDOM_TMP/share
sudo mv /tmp/gimp-$RANDOM_TMP $GIMP_INSTALL_DIRECTORY
fi

To summarize, the script does the following:
1. create the directory /opt/gimp
2. create the file /opt/gimp/share/config.site
3. download glib, babl, gegl and gimp source
4. install dependencies
5. build and install glib, babl, gegl and gimp to /opt/gimp
