Unless gtk+2 goes back to its old ways, this looks like a pretty hard nut to crack for gimp2 to avoid linking to the libfontconfig.dylib in /usr/X11R6.
For those who love bleeding edges, there is now another brand new possibility to get gimp2 working once again:
Update your X11 installation to the new xorg package. This has fontconfig-2.2.2 and gimp2 works with it. It is not even necessary to recompile gimp2!
For those who have Apple's X11 installed, here is what you can do:
sudo mv /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11R6_Apple sudo mv /etc/X11 /etc/X11_Apple fink install xorg [wait 2 hours until this finishes] sudo cp /usr/X11R6_Apple/bin/quartz-wm /usr/X11R6/bin/ sudo cp /etc/X11_Apple/xserver/Xquartz.plist /etc/X11/xserver/ sudo cp /usr/X11R6_Apple/bin/Xquartz /usr/X11R6/bin/
You should then be able to run your X11.app as before, and gimp-2.0 should work, too. Does for me, in any case.
The new xorg package is still not well integrated into the virtual packages system, and there are other reasons why you don't want to use it while you are compiling other things, so you might switch back to Apple's X11 before building other Fink packages:
sudo mv /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11R6_xorg sudo mv /etc/X11 /etc/X11_xorg fink remove xorg xorg-shlibs sudo ln -s X11R6_Apple /usr/X11R6 sudo ln -s X11_Apple /etc/X11
Afterwards, it is easy to switch between the two versions of X11, you could even make a little script or alias for it. Just make symlinks:
sudo ln -nsf X11R6_xorg /usr/X11R6 sudo ln -nsf X11_xorg /etc/X11
to switch to the xorg X11, and the same two lines with "_Apple" instead of "_xorg" to go back to Apple's X11. Very easy.
