Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gimp

I'm using kubuntu 11.04 x86_64.  I installed gimp from the package
manager.  When I find gimp in the menu and click it's icon, gimp appears
in the taskbar for about 15 seconds and then disappears.  It shows no
other signs of life.  When I open a terminal and run the command "gimp",
I get this text:

gimp:26284): GLib-WARNING **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.28.6/./glib/goption.c:2132: ignoring no-arg, optional-arg or filename flags (8) on option of type 0
Segmentation fault

I searched a bit around and found a thread where an arch user was able
to fix a similar issue by changing his theme. (
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57948 ).  I'm using KDE, and
I have "oxygen-gtk" set for running gtk apps.  My root account is not
using this theme.  So, I ran "sudo gimp" in a terminal and gimp starts
up as expected.
