Lame Startup Script for Gimp

#! /bin/sh
cd ~/My\ Documents
/usr/bin/gimp-1.2 

This is the startup script for gimp as delivered to my lindows computer from
the warehouse. This is a debian system.

This script is called gimp. So, you start the thang with the command gimp.
Problem is, no options can be passed to the program with this script.
So, adding $@ to the last line of the script, things work as they were
planned by the gimp designers.

Pity the poor people who can't read bash scripts.

P.S. Still loving this system. No permissions (running as root), no hardware
problems, and the software "mostly" works. No crashes except when xine and
doom crashed it and made me reinstall.
