I can confirm that creating the folder ~/.gimp-2.6 fixes the problem that I had as described in the duplicate: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/775586
If I create ~/.gimp-2.6 gimp starts fine. If I delete ~/.gimp-2.6 gimp crashes with a segfault again and re-creating ~/.gimp-2.6 fixes the problem (again).
