As in a spring that has been tangled up.

Today’s Gratitude Item: Finally figuring out how to get GIMP to start up without errors. Ever since I upgraded to version 2.10, an error message has appeared each time GIMP was started (clicking OK got rid of the error and then things worked). Said error was getting annoying. It took a bit of digging but today I got it sorted and for the first time in ages, GIMP started without any issues.
