Title:
  Gimp doesn't launch

Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I try to launch GIMP, I get following error:
  "X server found. dri2 connection failed!
  Trying to open directly...Device open failed"
  And it closes.
  Searched for that on the internet and didn't find anything. That's the only app on my PC that crashes in that way.
  It started happening around the upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10.
