It's named "gimp-2.0.0" and then upgrades "gimp-1.2" unless you install it
manually with "rpm -ivh". Since none of its files conflict with gimp 1.2,
it can coexist. On the contrary, fedora.us has named the gimp 1.3
development branch "gimp2-1.3", so tools like yum see both the stable
and the development package and don't upgrade the stable one with the
development version.
