ufraw has taken over

[Brian Cluff]

You need to make sure that you have the gimp-ufraw package installed, 
not just ufraw.  Then you can can just load raw images into GIMP like 
any other image.  UFRaw will pop up and after doing any adjustments you 
want, click OK and it will be transfered into the gimp... no need for a 
GIMP button.

While your at it, check out Digikam and Darktable for working with raw 
images.  You might find that you don't have a need to ever transfer them 
into the GIMP.  That way your image stays in a much higher bit color. 
Digikam will also allow you to catalog and tag all your images to make 
them easily findable.

Hopefully in the near future (near future in gimp terms being months) 
they will release the next generation of GIMP and the above statement 
will no longer be true.
