Segmentation fault starting gimp

[Saulo Soares de Toledo]

I'm running on a ASUS EEE-PC 1005HA.
When trying execute Gimp, I receive this error:

$ gimp

(gimp:4958): 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

This happens for version 2.6.11-1ubuntu6.1 on natty-security,natty-updates

I'm having the same issue on Kubuntu 11.04 Natty 64b, installed from the alternate CD.

On starting Gimp from the menu or terminal, it segfault after the message:
(gimp:12649): 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

^-- this message is also shown when running gimp-2.6 an Ubuntu live session which does not crash.

`dmesg`:
gimp-2.6[12806]: segfault at 50 ip 00007f9af7a32d1c sp 00007fffa3eb80b0 error 4 in libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.4[7f9af7843000+436000]

I installed `gimp-dbg` and ran `gdb /usr/bin/gimp-2.6`, issued `run` and it crashed again:

After installing libgtk2.0-0-dbg and libglib2.0-0-dbg I get a different backtrace:

I also had this problem, solved as in last post. Attaching core dump.

I'm sorry that nobody cared about your bug yet. This Ubuntu version is EOL. Could you please tell us if your problem persists? Thank you very much!
