gimp-app fails to run properly

Description (last modified by skymoo (Adam Mercer))
I just upgraded gimp2 to 2.8.2 (I believe from 2.8). Gimp-app was working properly before. Now if I try gimp-app the application opens but there are no menus, so it is not useable. I get a message window that pops up and says,
GIMP Message
There was an error parsing the menu definition from image-menu.xml: Failed to open file '/Applications/MacPorts/Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/share/gimp/2.0/menus/image-menu.xml':No such file or directory.
If I just run gimp from the command line is seems to work fine. I see that the only directory in GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/share is themes. So, it seems that there is something in the gimp-app script that is looking for a file that doesn't exist. But, gimp from the command line does find an appropriate menu. I do see that gimp2 contents includes this: /opt/local/share/gimp/2.0/menus/image-menu.xml
So, it seems that gimp2 checks that location, but gimp-app is looking in the wrong place for that file.

I'm having this problem as well. I tried the workaround suggested by drowe, and while it eliminates that error, I am now unable to open or export any format other than xcf. I tried openeing a PNG and it complained that it was an unknown file type, and when I tried exporting an image, the filetype chooser was empty.

As the reporter says this is a problem with gimp-app specifically and not gimp2 so for now please start GIMP from the command line. I hope to have a fix shortly.

Fix committed in r97804.
The app now has access to all required gimp2 resources.
I have just hit exactly the same problem.
However if you create a symbolic link:
cd /Applications/MacPorts/GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/share
sudo ln -s /opt/local/share/gimp gimp
then gimp2.8.2 starts up correctly with the appropriate menus.
Creating the symbolic link may well be a workaround rather than a proper fix - but it does indicate that this defect shouldn't be too had to cure.
For the record, I am running on an Apple MacBookPro1,1 (with the Intel Core Duo 32-bit only processor) and Mac Os X 10.6.8
