Friends,

Running GIMP 2.6.4 under Windows XP, on a machine with two user partitions, both with access to the same installation of GIMP. Somehow just recently, running the installation of GIMP as one user, the GIMP toolbox, and the Layers-channels-paths-undo dialog boxes do not generate file buttons on the Toolbar, that is, when I launch GIMP I see a single button, even though the main GIMP window, the toolbox, and the dialog box all open on the desktop. When running as another user, when I launch GIMP, I still see the behavior I am accustomed to, that is, at launch, I see the main window, the toolbox, and the Layers - channels - pahts - undo dialog dock.

It seems most likely to me that somehow without realizing it, I managed to change a user preference somehow in the one user, but if the documentation shows where or how I managed to do this, I cannot find it, and I don't see anything obvious when I open the user preference dialog that seems to me to why the same copy if GIMP works differently in the two areas.

Since I hadn't yet done so, I upgraded my GIMP to 2.6.5, and see that the different appearances in the two users persisted despite the upgrade.
