No "File -> Save" in gimp

[Pigeon <jah.pigeon@ukonline.co.uk>]

The subject says it all really... I've just installed gimp1.2 on my
woody system and there are no Save, Save As etc. options in the File
menu.

I can still save files by hitting Ctrl-S, but only over the top of the
original file. I don't get prompted for a filename to save under, nor
do I get a chance to save it into a different directory.

I haven't done anything "funny" to it - just apt-get install, go into
X, type "gimp", get a File menu with "New..." and "Open..." but no
"Save" or "Save As...". I load an image... still no "Save"/"Save As".
I make some changes to the image... still no "Save"/"Save As".

Is there some incantation one has to perform to get a Save option? If
so, what is it? And WHY???
