gimp x11 session

 The Wayland session does not save window positions on exit, so grudgingly we edit:

/usr/share/applications/gimp.desktop

and change the Exec= line to:

Exec=GDK_BACKEND=x11 gimp-3.2 %U

kubuntu 26.04

Upgrade from 25.10 

sudo do-release-upgrade -d

and 20 minutes later...

gimp 3 run in x11

 Until there's a proper Wayland version where window positions can be remembered...

GDK_BACKEND=x11 gimp
