You are excused. Your English is horrible!
LOL. just kidding. We don't care if you write bad English for as long
as the message you are trying to communicate can actually be
understood. Unlike some French men I know of course...

My wildest guess is that The Gimp doesn't support gnome-vfs. Why don't
you drag and drop the file from the smb;// window into a local folder,
say CTRL+L and type /tmp. Then double click on the image once is on
the /tmp directory? That should always work no matter which
application you use.

The other solution would be, of course, to add gnome-vfs support to
the Gimp and submit the patch upstream so that none of us have to work
around its shortcomings ;-)

I'd let a wiser person answer this one as I have NO idea. My guess is
that if you do: cd /tmp && apt-get source metacity ... wait ... and cd
metacity<TAB> then read from the src directory, you might find your
answer... (or you might not).

Never doubt the power of the [source]. Use the [source] David...
