I compile KDE from source, I've never compiled Gimp from source. I would say 
there are two reasons why you'd compile KDE from source : 

- you're a KDE developper. If that's the case, you've got better things to do 
than compiling random stuff, so KDE is likely to be the only thing you're 
compiling, everything else is from packages. That's my case (not a KDE dev 
but developping a KDE-based app).

- you compile everything from source, in which case you're IMHO unlikely to be 
a KDE dev, because you're spending all your time maintaining your system :-)

I have both, and practically never used Gimp because it's too darn 
complicated.
