You will need a window manager, but you can use one with a low memory
footprint like FVWM (and its variants) that'll do all you need.
As for minimal, You'll need an X server (XFree86) for your video card, C
libraries (don't know what version of SuSE you're using, but I believe
you'll need at least glibc 2.0.7 (also called libc6), you may also need some
other support libraries depending on what you're doing with the GIMP in
terms of Script-Fu and also whatever SuSE needs as a base.
That should cover it. I may have missed something. But I would start with a
minimal SuSE install (does the installer have such an option?) and then add
the GIMP and see what it needs.
HTH.
