I run Gimp 2 from both Gimp.app and fink (2.0.4-1) routinely, and haven't noticed any problems in particular. What kind of problems are you envisioning?
I'm glad to hear that. I wondered whether the fink-gimp would call preferences from the ~/.gimp-2.0 directory created by the non-fink-gimp. It shouldn't be anything dramatic, but I used the default resolution during the non-fink-gimp setup.
Also, fink's gimp2 doesn't (or didn't, the last time I installed it) require you to go through the configuration process.
I'd be very suprised at this; every version of Gimp I've ever used has required this the first time it's run. To test it, I renamed my ~/.gimp-2.0 to get it out of the way and ran /sw/bin/gimp-2.0, which does indeed start the "GIMP User Installation" dialog.
Of course once you have the directory set up it won't trigger the setup dialog again unless you remove it: minor version upgrades or multiple installations of the same major version will share the same dot directory.
Makes sense. And answers my (unfounded) concern. I just don't remember running through the config dialogue, except when I tried to install GIMP on Win98. It must've happened, but I don't remember it.
