This is what the release notes (http://gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.3.html) explicitely tell you would be happening if you ignore the advice to choose a separate, non-standard prefix for the unstable version.

Don't know the disease but I found the cures. first I wiped out everything in /usr/local/share/gimp. I also wiped out the gimpish files in my home directory. 2.2.12 still didn't want to play nicely so I recompiled 2.3.9. The xsane problem may have been related to cross-partition problems so I just copied it to the plug-in directory instead of linking it. Now all I have to do is correct the persistent problems with PostScript output. It still creates offsets, horizontal and vertical, by default. This requires minor surgery on the source. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.
