It's not gutenprint (which I have installed), at least not directly. 
devel/gnome-vfs does have a Samba option, which is disabled here.

Gutenprint support is an OPTION in gimp -- perhaps turning that off
relieves you of the dependency?

There's prolly a 10 line function the developer didn't want to write. I've seen 
some case where it takes more code to link to other packages than just write 
what's needed.  Drives me crazy to have to install apps that have "nothing" to 
do with the app I really need...

Welcome to the glory of rapid application development and
"modern" programming! :-)

According to your question: I am confident that the SMB
dependency is brought into Gimp by the gutenprint module
(can't even tell you exactly what it does, may have
something to do with CUPS I also don't have any use for).
CUPS seems to be hardcoded into Gimp even if you don't
use it (due to a normal printer).

The SMB dependency is also used by several Gnome-related
dependencies, such as Gnome-VFS, a part of nearly every
"file open" dialog in Gtk.

The /var/db/pkg//+REQUIRED_BY file tells you
about the next higher stage of dependency (maybe another
library or a "primary program" - the thing you actually
want to use).

Note that observations like this are the reason you have
to constantly buy a new computer in order to keep doing
the same things at the same average speed. :-)

In fact,  it is all users.  I have now moved back to KDE 3.5.10 (a big
improvement over KDE 4.2.2) and the problem is still there - gimp-2.6
runs OK as root, but segfaults when run by any other user.  I've
reinstalled gimp-app:

portupgrade -rR gimp-app

still got the problem.  I've "solved" it by setting the executable in
/usr/local/bin to suid:

freebsd [10:24] /usr/local/bin#ll gimp-2.6
-r-sr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  4245892 20 Jul 14:19 gimp-2.6

Not nice, but it now works with any user, however the ownership of
files in the ~/gimp-2.6 directory is now "root".  Previously I'd
"solved" the problem by running always as root but then it never made
a ~/gimp-2.6, but always used the ~root/gimp-2.6 directory, for every
user.  I've also tried setting the ownership of the executable to bin,
but that also fails.  Any ideas for a better solution would be
welcome.  Meanwhile, I'm OK.

Rob,

Any chance you're using something like Kerberos, *SQL, LDAP, NIS, or
some other remote database to login to your system?


Is it all local users, or are they all from remote?

Have you removed ~/.gimp-* directories (if you don't have
any custom settings saved yet)?

Or at least checked the ownership of said directory trees?

Yes it helped.
It is looks like a bit deley between mirrors as I cvsuped on 14th apr in the
morning with cvsup4.ru.FreeBSD.org and there was not libexif-0.6.12_1 bugfix
port which appeared on 13th. May be it is because of shift of time.
Nethermind. Now works fine.

Thanks a lot.
