If you have found some things that need changing in the source and know how to fix them, you should open a bug report (if there is no open bug covering the issue), and attach a patch to the report which fixes the code. If you do this, it is more likely your changes will be incorporated in to the GIMP source tree. You would no longer have to keep applying the changes with each new release. -- Cheers!

[Gimp-user] Feature request list for publishers.
1. Ability to work with and save files using CMYK color model. 1a. Use ICC profiles for viewing and exporting CMYK model files. 2. Clean up the code for exporting PostScript and Encapsulated PostScript files. I have on occasion dug into the source code and changed things like the unnecessary default offsets but I am not prepared to do this for each new release I get. Motivation: some of us use Open Source software exclusively. The nearest OS rival to Photoshop is Gimp in terms of functionality. Publishers need to work in CMYK and sometimes in spot color. There have been little steps toward the CMYK color model but not a complete adoption. Other programs, some not nearly as well developed as Gimp, manage to handle the choice between CMYK and RGB without difficulty. When you open up Krita for example that is the first decision you make. But Krita is embryonic and not ready for me at least to use. Scribus also handles both color models, as does TeX. These are both production programs. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.
