I broke my GIMP program.

*kicks self* Well, I was playing in gimp, making my first siggy, when my mouse rolled up and I hit a little button that looked like an X. Now, all my buttons are gone!

I have tried reinstalling GIMP and the GTK Runtime Environment, but to no avail. Someone please tell me if there is anything I can do to save GIMP.

Is there a help manual online somewhere? Say wiki?

Here's the solution:

Double click the rectangular selection button (a window will pop up)
Put the mouse over Rect select, click and drag that onto the little rectangle on the big dialog box

(sorry for crappy image

)

And it should be back to normal

Note that this will work with any of the buttons, I just chose the rectangular selection.

I cannot express my thanks, Eric! *goes back to his nooby ways of GIMP*
