Yeah, use ps to identify the stuck process id.

1, send the process a signal to get a core dump

and/or

2. use strace to connect to the pid and see whats giving it grief...

good luck...

Dear List,

I've got my Gimp stuck.  File->Open and it locks - the only way out is
force-quit.  It can do recently open, but the main 'open' dialog and
the save-as dialog are both guaranteed lockups.  Any ideas?
