I suggested something along the same lines as a "feature" addition for
some KDE apps... The fact that this happens isn't a KDE issue, however...

Basically, it's a deficiency (?) within GIMP. For this to happen, the
"new" gimp would have to look for an "old" gimp and tell it to open the
new file. (Classic IPC implement :-) Gimp doesn't do this, and there's not
way to make it, without rewriting some source.

Of course, that's the power of Open Source, so if you really want that, go
for it ;-)
