attempt to use the text tool crashes the program (on Windows) and I don't remember the solution

Using the 2.7.3 version from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-win/ , with the text tool selected, GIMP crashes just when I click anywhere on an opened image. I remember it happened the same sometime in the past (more than a year back, I presume), at that time I found a solution (perhaps shared by Jernej Simončič (?)), but I am unable to find the referecne to it.

At the same time, the 2.7.4 portable version from Partha's site works ok.

Someone to remember something on this ?

Thank you, Cristi

Its a known bug with the wimp theme engine. disable it and gimp will work fine. I did it by finding and removing libwimp.dll from gimp gtk, but it can be done via the config file as well.
