gimp 1.1.x is the unstable "branch". (1.2 will be released very soon)
it creates ~/.gimp-1.1 to enable users to install both 1.0.4 and 1.1.x
without interference.

with recent versions, you can specify a configure-option (only when compiling)
to specify a different user-directory (instead of ~/.gimp-1.1):
--enable-gimpdir=~user/.gimp
