You have a non-debian version of libglib-2.0.so.0 in /usr/local/lib/. It
seems to be broken or at least outdated. I would get rid of it. (The
linker gives precedence to libraries in /usr/local/lib because it
assumes that the sysadmin deliberately put them there to override the
normal system libraries.)
Your Gimp should work again as soon as it uses the correct library in
/usr/lib/. You may have to run "ldconfig" as root after you remove the
other file to rebuild the linker's cache. You can check with the
"ldd..." command above if Gimp uses /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.
