I had this bug happened to me. Opened GIMP, but couldn't save a file to
/usr/share/icons. So I re-opened GIMP with `sudo gimp`. Next time I try
to open GIMP, I get permission denied. I tried removing the directory to
hopefully let GIMP auto-regenerate it, but then I got a file not found
error.

This is not a bug report, and solving this is a support issue - you may
want to refer to the docs of the chown command.

Try to rename the Gimp directory:
1. stop all the Gimp processes
2. sudo mv "$USER/.gimp-2.8" "$USER/.gimp-2.8-backup"
3. sudo mv ~root/.gimp-2.8 ~root/.gimp-2.8-backup
If after this operation everything works you can remove the
.gimp-2.8-backup directories.

I got the same error.
First time after installation I opened gimp as root ('sudo gimp'). So it's
initial configuration is set for root. Now 'sudo gimp' works perfectly. I don't
know how to solve this..

The Xubuntu was isntalled as Alpha so maybe it was corrected meanwhile.
I will see if I can check the problem on an updated system.

I'm sorry but I'm running GIMP 2.8.6 on Saucy and cannot confirm this
bug.
