There is a patch from Koop Mast, that updates gimp to 2.8 (and gegl/babl 
too). But new gimp also requires more fresh atk and all of this needs 
testing. I can't recall the link for kwm's patch, and will not put one 
that I have somewhere, because there is possibility that there is 
updated version of it. Koop, can you please post that patch link here so 
the interested people can check it on their own?
