I have built Gimp 1.2 packages for Debian Potato systems that have Ximian Gnome installed (Ximian was formerly known as Helix Code). I've put a link to the Ximian installation directions (really just a line to add to /etc/apt/sources.list) up along with the gimp 1.2 packages at: http://www.cerc.utexas.edu/~andrewk/gimp (My packages depend on Ximian Gnome because all the x86 Debian Potato systems I have access to have Ximian installed, and one dependency ends up being on a Ximian-versioned package when I build gimp. Also, Ximian Gnome happens to include libgtk 1.2.8, which is required for Gimp-1.2 - straight Potato only has 1.2.7). later, Andrew
