Yea, I don't know WHY Mandriva uses development versions of GIMP in their
distributions. I guess they feel supplying the latest software is better
than supplying stability.

The latest stable version is Gimp 2.2.15. I download and compile the
source from [url]http://www.gimp.org/downloads[/url] I haven't seen any RPMs
for 2.2.14 or 2.2.15 specifically made for Mandriva. You can proably
use the Fedora Core versions.....
