To be honest, I've only used gimp a little (I use Photoimpact by Ulead in
the windows world) so I'm not an expert in it. Maybe someone else can
answer the gimp issues.
I guess the short answer is no - I don't. Not realizing you wanted windows
I just gave some suggestions - maybe if you'd listed these requirements to
start with we could have avoided the problem.
