I agree this one caught me a couple of times, maybe the select box.

Select the desired startup/initial tool, then save your Preferences, which also saves the currently selected tool - which then gets selected the next time Gimp2 is started:

0) Select desired tool to start up with 1) File/Preferences/Input Devices
2) Save Input Device Settings Now
3) OK

Thanks for the useful routine, whch was more helpful than simply answering:

Yes +1

Now we need to convince the Powers That Be to make that the default out of the box. Also, the PostScript output routine defaults to vertical and horizontal offsets of 20 pixels each. These settings have no utility that I can see. I know how to patch this and recompile but it would save time if I didn't have to do this for each successive release.

Well, it had been this way - the rectangular selection was the default tool before 2.2, iirc. But many people did complain that GIMP does nothing on newly opened images, so it has been changed.

Also, the PostScript output routine defaults to vertical and horizontal offsets of 20 pixels each. These settings have no utility that I can see. I know how to patch this and recompile but it would save time if I didn't have to do this for each successive release.

Why don't you open a report in Bugzilla and attach the patch?

HTH, Michael
