I was having the exact same problem since around one week ago. Upgrading
the gimp version to 2.8 solved the problem.

Title:
gimp 2.6.12 actions cause logout from ubuntu 12.04
Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I just discovered not only is the following true, but if I do anything
using Gimp 2.6.12 I get logged out of Ubuntu.
This is weird.
I'm using 12.04 on an emachines e443 64 bit computer. When I open a
photo in Gimp 2.6.12 and I click to draw a rectangular selection area
it instantly shows a black screen with some logging out text.
Immediately afterwards my password screen for logging in on the
computer appears. There is no error message, just an instant and
direct logout.
In the name of science I repeated the situation, and was able to read
something about "Start ClamAV" in the black screen. It goes so fast I
can't read all of it.
Since I also have a windows partition I know the computer isn't doing
a complete restart or I would have the option of selecting either OS.
Any thoughts?
My processor is:
AMD C-Series dual-core processor C-50 (1.0 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache, DDR3
1066 MHz, 9 W)
My graphics card is:
AMD Radeon™ HD 6250 Graphics with 256 MB of dedicated system memory,
supporting Unified Video Decoder 3 (UVD3), OpenCL® 1.1, OpenGL® 3.1,
OpenEXR High Dynamic-Range (HDR) technology, Shader Model 5.0,
Microsoft® DirectX® 11
I'm not using ADM's driver, just the Ubuntu provided one.
When I was trying to make the computer a bit less sluggish in Windows,
before installing Ubuntu, I threw 8GB of RAM on it, so I know this
isn't a lack of memory issue.
I think I installed Gimp 2.6.12 through the Ubuntu Software Center but
am not 100% certain.
I used 12.04 for a while with Gimp and had no issues. This started
sometime after July 4th. Perhaps an update caused this problem?
And as I said at the beginning, if I try to apply curves, adjust image
size or do any other photo manipulation, the screen goes black and
then I see the log in screen.
