Yeah. I forgot to mention earlier that I did indeed try it as both root
and as a normal user to see if it was a permissions problem. Both
times, I got those errors.

I tried that too. I did apt-get remove gphoto2, apt-get remove gtkam,
and even apt-get remove gimp for good measure. Then I did apt-get clean
, thinking that might be the way to purge the old stuff (if that wasn't
the right way, could someone please tell me how purges are done?)
After that I reinstalled gphoto2, gtkam, and gimp fresh. Still no-go.
She's trying to download the pictures, but still keeps timing out
(sometimes also saying that the data is corrupted, which shouldn't be
the case, since they downloaded fine on the Windows side.
I'm just hoping that I won't eventually have to fix this the "Windows"
way, and do a complete reinstall to get things back to how they were
before the upgrade. :(
