Also, just in case it matters, the flatpak Gimp has its own /tmp (in
other words it doesn't see files in the system /tmp), so if Blender
tries to start it on an image it put in the regular /tmp, it will fail.

Hello,
My understanding is that, in Blender, you set up the external image editor as
"/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gimp.GIMP/current/active/export/share/applications/org.gimp.GIMP.desktop".
Is that what you meant?
If that's the case, I think it's not the right way to do. The .desktop files
are just a way for Linux desktop environments (such as Gnome) to have
information about programs that can be launched (such as the program title, its
icon, the path to the binary to actually launch when the user clicks on the
icon, etc.).
Try to open this .desktop file with a text editor. You should see something
like:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=GNU Image Manipulation Program
(...)
Exec=gimp-2.10 %U
TryExec=gimp-2.10
(...)
In my case, what the desktop file is saying is to execute the command "gimp-2.10
%U" whenever I click on the Gimp icon.
In order to know where is located that `gimp-2.10` binary file, you can use the
`which` command:
$ which gimp-2.10
/usr/bin/gimp-2.10
(yes, I'm using the version from a PPA, not the Flatpak version, so my path is
for sure different from the one you're going to find.)
Hope this helps
