Description Ari Pollak 2016-04-09 15:51:34 UTC 
From http://bugs.debian.org/820207:

Part of docs/gimp.1.in says:

Most GIMP configuration is read in from the user's init file,
\fB$HOME\fP/@gimpdir@/gimprc. The system wide equivalent is in
@sysconfdir@/gimprc. The system wide file is parsed
first and the user gimprc can override the system settings.
@sysconfdir@/gimprc_user is the default gimprc
placed in users' home directories the first time GIMP is run.

@sysconfdir@/gimprc usually resolves to /etc/gimprc, but the files are actually stored in @gimpsysconfdir@, /etc/gimp/2.0/.

    Bug 764822 - gimp man page references incorrect path to system-wide gimprc
    
    Use @gimpsysconfdir@ no just @sysconfdir@ when referring to files
    in the systemwide GIMP config files.
