Description Michael Chudobiak 2008-10-08 17:31:14 UTC 
Apparently gimp-remote has been renamed gimp-remote-2.0 in 2.6.x.

Is there a compelling reason for this? It breaks external apps:

- gthumb, bug 555549
- gqview, http://www.students.tut.fi/~pylvanat/linuxp.html

Can you add a symlink?

- Mike
Comment 1 Michael Natterer 2008-10-08 18:12:33 UTC 
gimp-remote is deprecated and needs to be explicitely enabled by
passing --enable-gimp-remote to configure. If you do so, it is built
and the symlink is correctly created.

Note however that you don't need it any more because this functionality
is built into the gimp binary now (using dbus).
