That is mtPaint 3.50.10, compiled in OpenEmbedded for Easy Scarthgap. The Devuan repository has mtPaint 3.50.11; so why didn't I use that? -- don't recall, there was a reason.
I have compiled mtPaint 3.50.13 and created a PET. The operation that don570 tested, now works:
# mtpaint --cmd -f/new w=1184 h=624 =24 -e/col a=0 -s/all -e/cut -e/col a=173 -e/freetype font='DejaVu Sans' antialias=0 size=70 back=-1 angle=0 -e/freetype t='Puppy Linux v10.9' -e/paste \(300,210\) -effect/gaussian=3 -e/layer trans=0 -effect/gaussian=1 -s/all -e/copy -e/'Save Clipboard'/1 -e/set grad=1 -e/col a=0 b=173 -e/tool grad \(300,200 700,500\) -e/tool grad: type=lin ext=mirror -s/all -e/cut -e/'Load Clipboard'/1 -e/paste -effect/'Soften ...'=50 -f/as=/usr/share/backgrounds/default format=jpeg
This will be in the next release.
