[Bug 1246908] Re: ~/.gimp-2.8 directory and everything inside is owned by root
Try to rename the Gimp directory:
1. stop all the Gimp processes
2. sudo mv "$USER/.gimp-2.8" "$USER/.gimp-2.8-backup"
3. sudo mv ~root/.gimp-2.8 ~root/.gimp-2.8-backup
If after this operation everything works you can remove the
.gimp-2.8-backup directories.

The ~/.gimp-2.8 directory and everything inside it is owned by user

To avoid data loss, please check the location and permissions of the swap directory defined in your Preferences (currently "/home/vbrozik/.gimp-2.8").
