Sometimes the command name is not the same as the package name. Some
packages contain lots of programs ("gnome-games" has a separate
program for each game, but no unified interface to the whole suite of
them). And some commands may be available in many different versions
or with different configurations and options enabled, so the programs
have different names so you can control which you use. 'dpkg -L' will
tell you the names of all the files installed by a certain package;
files in /sw/bin and /sw/sbin are the ones you'd usually run. Try
dpkg -L gimp
and see if maybe the file in /sw/bin has a name other than just "gimp".
