gimp-remote: Could not connect to the Gimp

Hello,
when I want to open a second picture in a already running gimp session I got the following message:

Could not connect to the Gimp. Make sure that the Toolbox is visible!

But the toolbox is on the current desktop on top. I use the command for the first picture:

gimp-2.2 picture1.jpg

and for the second:

gimp-remote-2.2 picture2.jpg

I working on three PCs, all with SUSE 9.3 and mostly the same sw enwironment but the behavior of gimp is different.

AMD64: no Problems with gimp Notebook with PII: Problems with connect to gimp DELL GX110: Problems with connect to gimp

What can be the reason that gimp doesn't find it's own process ?

Any tips?

System: SUSE 9.3
GIMP-Version 2.2.4 (SUSE 9.3 rpm)
KDE 3.4.1

Thanks,
Werner

gimp-remote isn't the same process as gimp. I suggest you have a look at the source code of gimp-remote (it's found in the tools folder). That should give you an idea of how gimp-remote works and might enable you to find out why it isn't working for you.
