Unstable version of GIMP are not supposed to be used by anyone who wants stable software. That excludes kids as well as 99,99% of our userbase.

The splash screen is a combination of puns:

a) on newly added Cage tool (since 2.7.2, and it's when this splash appeared) b) on alternative meaning of GEGL as Genetic Engineered Goat, Large (where the fifth leg comes from)

And, I dare say, it's also a mild joke on people who have let dirty thoughts on "GIMP as in Pulp Fiction movie character" crawl inside their heads and build a nest and now can't (and probabaly don't want to) get rid of these thoughts.

By the time 2.8 i out, GIMP will have a new family-friendly splash screen without potentially offensive jokes on anyone's expense, although it's virtually impossible to guarantee that (because there are always people who are ready to take offense at something).

Anyone able to install the beta should be able to change the splashscreen:

I currently have it rotating between these four: http://bildr.no/image/957595.jpeg

OK, you're a pervert. :)

But look on the bright side - you're very good at it!

Hmm. That is more weird than anything.

Also thanks for using the 'bdsm' acronym. I now have that in my search history. lol

I run Gimp-2.7.3 in a separate partition. My...you must be far gone to see that as bdsm!! The funny thing is that the stricter people are religion wise the more they know about these things. I never noticed it until this thread. Gerard.
