With all respect this sound much like how one do it in Windows.
The first thing I would try is make a backup of your ~/.gimp-2.6
folder delete the original and start gimp from a shell to see it's
output.
It may give some clues why it SIGSEV. If that don't work I would purge
all gimp related packages and GTK+ and reinstall them.

Good luck!
