[Bug 14597] if you are really stuck for space

If you are badly stuck for space you might consider the plugin gimpressionist and the resource files which go with it as they take up several Megabytes. 

You might also want to encourage upstream to push more of their data files out to their gimp-data-extras package (like patterns, having 3 different wood patterns by default is a excessive).  

The gimp can techincally use PNG or JPEG for patterns and other resources but hasn't converted their old files over yet.  If you were willing to do the work to convert the obsolete PAT files to the more space efficient PNG files (and making sure none of the scripts are broken as a result) they would probably be interested in accepting your changes.  

Maybe there should be a seperate report to track this kind of bloat.
