Comment 50 for bug 1021517

I have also experienced this problem recently, but fixed it by going through 3 or 4 Gimp uninstall-purge-reinstall cycles. Unfortunately, I did not take note of my actions or the sequence of actions.

The GIMP menus work fine, but as soon as any mouse click with any tool hits the loaded image, it crashed as indicated above.

I don't know if there are any common elements in this info, but my system is:
     Sony VAIO
     Intel® Pentium(R) CPU B940 @ 2.00GHz × 2
     4 gigs RAM
     Kernel Linux 3.2.0-26-generic-pae
     GNOME 3.4.1
     Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32 bit
     Gimp 2.6.
