Default Image Size Problem

I've set my default image size for 468x60 as I plan on creating mostly banners. Instead of the new image dialog box being set at 468x60, it pretty much randomizes what it's set at. One time it was 550x77, the next time it was 770xXX (I forget the exact dimensions). Whats going on here? Why won't GIMP take my settings for the default image size?

Do you have a selection in the clipboard when you create the new image? If so, the GIMP uses the selection size for a new image by default. There may be a way to alter this, but in 1.2.3, it is not in the preferences menu. As a workaround, you could try creating the image before you cut/copy something to paste into it, but then how does one clear the clipboard buffer? I don't really know.

Maybe this will get you started though...

Actually, in 1.2.3 (which I compiled from source) I am able to define the default image size for new images. I have nothing in the clip board that I know of (nothing more then an odd bit of text, anyways) when I ask to create a new image. I rather like being able to define the default size for new images. I usually don't cut/copy/paste my images, either.
