Something stopping Gimp loading

Something I have installed stops Gimp from loading - that is the little
Gimp picture flashes on the screen briefly and then the load aborts.  I
can find no clue in /var/log/syslog and /var/log/kern.log so I have used
dpkg --purge to remove a number of programs to no avail.  I have done a
number of apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade runs since I last used
Gimp.  Although the upgrades were quite large I assume they are not the
problem since I have seen nothing on the list about this problem.

Any suggestions of what to try next would be most welcome.

Tom
