Hi, I resolved my problem by deleting the hidden directory /home/<username>/.gimp-2.4.
This directory, that contains gimp settings, is not deleted when uninstalling gimp. A new installation uses it. That's interesting if you install a new version, but, if it contains an error, this error persists in all new installations. GIMP re-creates this directory on starting again.
