Guides do not stay as placed |

When I try to place the vertical guides (the ones I move from left hand ruler), they disappear as soon as I let go of the move tool. Earlier it was the horizontal guides which were playing this trick.
I have seen edit> preferences but could not make out what adjustments are wrong.
Can someone help me please to restore guides.
I almost always uncheck 'snap to guides' under 'view' when I try to place guides.
OS Ubuntu 14.04; GIMP - the version available in software centre (no addl plugins, plugouts)

Is there a decent filter to make some sort of lens distortion for text ? |

I was thinking of something like that:

(the logo in the middle).
Thats an effect from the late 90ies so shouldnt be too exotic.
I tried mapping text to a sphere, but Gimp's 'Map To Object' filter doesnt look good.
The 'Lens Distortion' is not extreme enough.
'Apply Lens' makes it all jaggy edged.
G'MIC doesnt seem to have the right filter...'Fisheye' distorts parts of the text too much in an ugly way.
I downloaded Mathmap, but im new to this filter pack, so i dont know.

Working with Paths |

When I first started working with paths I made a How To list. I printed this and kept referring to it whenever I was working with paths. It helped me, so I am sure it will help others just starting to use Gimp paths.
Consider this a Work In Progress. ie it is not complete and not guaranteed to be 100% correct. Please feel free to correct and add to it. I would like to see it posted somewhere permanent when completed.
HOW TO:
Create a new Path:
Design: Click, Click, Click, Click, ...
Close a Path:
Design: Ctrl-Click on first node.
Move a Node:
Design: Drag Node
Add a new node:
Design: Ctrl-Click on segment
Edit: Click on a segment
Delete a node:
Design: Select node, then Shift-Ctrl-Click on the node
Edit: Select node, then Shift-Click on the node (or Shift-Ctrl-Click on the node)
Delete a segment:
Design: Select Segent, then Shift-Ctrl-Click on the segment
Edit: Select Segent, Shift-Click on the segment
Join two nodes with a segment (close a path):
Design: Click on one node; Ctrl-Click on the next node.
Edit: Click on one node, Click on the next node.
Open (Extract) a handle:
Design: Select node: Ctrl-Drag square
or Edit: Drag square
Open (Extract) handles while creating a path:
Instead of just clckng, Click-Drag.
Close (Delete) a handle:
Design: Shift-Ctrl-Click on the handle
Edit: Shift-Click on the handle
Make handles symmetrical:
Design or Edit: Press Shift while dragging a handle
Design or Edit: Press Ctrl-Shift while dragging a handle
Bend a segment:
Design: Click on the segment and drag
or Edit: Click on the segment and drag (Caveat: this adds a new node!)
Start a new section in the same path
Design: Shift-Click
(Can be used to create an O shape path with inner and outer sections)
How to tell Gimp that this path is complete and I want to start a new path:
Paths Dialogue: Click on New Path (similar to creating a new layer in the layers dialogue.)
How to smooth nodes or a complete path:
???
