Yeah, I got that. But a solution to that was proposed more than 4
months ago. So thought there may be more to this issue. (Because what
else whould keep a bugfix away from master for so long?!)

Also, it doesn't say whether a simple wrapProgram line for gimp would do it too.

I actually started building x-updates, but there was so much to build
and my VM is getting out-of-space so I cancelled it.
