I am aware of that. The org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/3.28 runtime is somewhat lacking in support for Gimp.
Obviously, none of the lib files I slip into it overwrite existing files. No symbolic links all physical files.
It is hopefully a shortcut solution to get Gimp 2.10 into my Kubuntu 16.04 - I do not know your solution. I do run a VM with it installed, but a PITA to fire that up all the time.
At the moment, it is a method to extend the life of this Xenial installation. I come from PClinuxOS where for 6 years, updated frequently, but it was still PClinuxOS. No question of reinstalling the whole OS. Really annoyed if I have to reinstall a 'buntu version every six months.
So far I have that gmic-gtk, FFT and nufraw-gimp plugins working (edit: BIMP as well). Probably not going to be any more, QT might be a step too far
