LOL I found out what the problem was. Scanlite was scanning the picture so big 
it was crashing gimp when I tried to open it. I finally got the picture scanned 
and did what I needed to do with it, but now I feel like my computer is a 
chaotic mess from all the poo poo I installed and uninstalled. LOL

But I am seriously going to give gnome a shot. As soon as I get my files backed 
up, since I feel like my computer is an electronic pile of dung, I'm going to 
do a fresh install of Ubuntu and Kubuntu (just in case) and I'm going to at 
least give Gnome a month before I decide if it's right for me.
