I think you should go for the development version of Gimp currently 2.9.5 Easiest way for that in linux is Ubuntu (or derivative such as Mint) where Gimp 2.9.5 can be installed via a ppa see: https://launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasch/+archive/ubuntu/gimp-edge The advantage is most of the tools are previewed on the canvas in use. So for the gradient tool, using transparent to white, radial mode and a suitable offset you can check if any vignette remains before committing the gradient. example: http://i.imgur.com/VzDd7cS.jpg isolated half with a selection for comparison purpose.
