thanks,Shinobar!

Thank you! I've just started with the gimp but this works great on Lxtahr 15.05.

Thanks,Scabz!

Brilliant, Scabz!
My ebullient report: Works well on LxTahr 15.02 on an HP G60 laptop.I played most of a "TedTalk" through and it works great.
I am loading the chrome sfs only when Netflix is wanted and then just using the Netflix shortcut installed.
