Not sure this is the problem but perhaps you don't have all the gimp programs installed. Do and aptitude search gimp and see what packages listed are not installed and may have what you need. On my Hardy 64 bit using kde4 the search lists more than a page full of gimp related programs. Just to be sure I would install any and all tools related gimp programs and libs that weren't currently installed. HTH.
