I forgot one little thing, you currently have to also install the
package libgegl-dev in order for the development version of gimp to
start. Without that package gimp will complain about a core piece of
GEGL being missing and refuse to art. I think they currently have an
error in their packaging because it didn't used to require that package
and it shouldn't require it in order to start the base software.
