Ross,
check if the gimp deps have been replacing the original kdelibs.
knotify.so and kded.so which crash both call libkdeui.so.4 which is
in it.
use 'ldd /usr/bin/<programme-name>' to track down the problem.
an eg 'ldd /opt/kde/bin/startkde'
if involved then could try backup of ~/kde and uninstall/reinstall
kdelibs again. gimp might still work with the original kdelibs.
or if the new kdelibs are required for gimp, then a matching version of
kdebase to kdelibs may be needed for startkde.
looking at whether the (new?) gimp package is actually needed may
also be worth consideration if your distro is relatively recent and
the gimp package is not required for your printer/xsane. (--no-deps
manual install works in some cases also.)
