I have wrote a small script-fu script to be run by the web, but I have encountered a problem. Script lookes like this:

(define (script-fu-xcf2gif infile outfile) (let*
(
(img (car (gimp-file-load 1 infile infile))) (drawable (car (gimp-drawable-get-image img))) )
(gimp-image-flatten img)
(gimp-image-convert-indexed img 1 0 256 0 1 "") (file-gif-save 1 img drawable outfile outfile 1 0 0 0) )
)

which I am running from console like this: gimp -d -i -b '(script-fu-xcf2gif "blokada.xcf" "blokada.gif")' '(gimp-quit 1)'

and it produces something like this: This is a development version of The GIMP. Debug messages may appear here.
gimp_composite: use=yes, verbose=no +mmx +sse +sse2 -3dnow -altivec -vis (gimp:13064): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: (gimp:13061): Gimp-Plug-In-WARNING **: gimp: plug_in_flush(): error: Broken pipe

The dying Plug-In may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side. batch command: experienced an execution error. (gimp:13061): Gimp-Plug-In-WARNING **: plug_in_close: plug-in aborted before sending its procedure return values

The same code is executed successfully when run from xterm... I have also tried to make a display with Xvfb, but 1.3 theoritically does not need it, --display switch with combine with -i is marked as incorrect.

I am using gimp-2.0pre3.
