What window is different? And how is it different?

gimp-help is certainly not affecting this. The version number shown in
the About dialog is compiled into the application. There is no way it
can show the wrong version number.

The latest Gimp from Fedora 9 updates is 2.4.7.
It's About box shows 2.4.7.
gimp --version shows 2.4.7.

The latest gimp-help from Fedora 9 is 2.4.1.
Gimp 'About' still shows 2.4.7, even when this gimp-help is installed.

Advice: upgrade to Gimp 2.6. It's much nicer...
