gimp crashes at loading fonts, maybe it's a fontconfig error ? ---- start of console output ---- >gimp-1.3 --verbose -c This is a development version of The GIMP. Debug messages may appear here.

We need some more info to debug this. Would you try running gimp as follows: > gdb gimp-1.3 (gdb) run and when it segfaults enter: (gdb) bt at the gdb prompt and add the stack trace as comment to this bug?
This looks common; most probably the well-known fontconfig bug that has been reported a few times. In order to verify that fonts are indeed the problem, you can start gimp-1.3 with the --no-fonts command-line option.
stack trace: gdb gimp-1.3 results: ---- Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x40568a74 in FcEditDestroy () from /usr/X11R6/lib/ libfontconfig.so.1 (gdb) bt

Running 'gimp-1.3 --no-fonts' starts complete without any problems, exept there are no fonts in app ;-) I saw some apps (eg. quanta), which produces the same warning, but do not crash ?
Updating to fontconfig-2.2 should fix your problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 121752 ***
