Hello Helen,

I don't think a GIMP install is distro-specific?
However, to be on the safe side, why not make and save a tarball
of the entire ~/.gimp2.2 directory?

[~]$ tar -czvf gimp2.2.tar.gz ~/.gimp2.2/

That command, if executed from your home directory (which is where .gimp2.2
is probably located) should make a tarball of the whole .gimp2.2 directory.

Hopefully helpful.
