gimp + oxygen-gtk in kubuntu = segment fault

[jenna]

Binary package hint: gimp

I'm using kubuntu 11.04 x86_64. I installed gimp from the package manager. When I find gimp in the menu and click it's icon, gimp appears in the taskbar for about 15 seconds and then disappears. It shows no other signs of life. When I open a terminal and run the command "gimp", I get this text:

gimp:26284): 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

I searched a bit around and found a thread where an arch user was able to fix a similar issue by changing his theme. ( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57948 ). I'm using KDE, and I have "oxygen-gtk" set for running gtk apps. My root account is not using this theme. So, I ran "sudo gimp" in a terminal and gimp starts up as expected.

Ps, I see the same bug reported at the debian tracker, which was closed due to inactivity. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=624693
