gi makes a whole lot of unwarrented assumptions about the way a brush
file looks.  It sounds, from the symptoms, like DPaint II has added
some additional chunks to the beginning of the files, and this would
cause gi to lose it in a big way.  When I get my hands on DPaint II, I
would be pleased to modify gi so that it'll work with DPaint II
brushes as well as the originals (I've been thinking about slicking it
up anyhow, so wotthehell...).  If and when this happens, I'll be sure
and post it.
