As far as I know (and I've lurking on the gimp developer list for 10+ years), GIMP has never been a GNOME application. So, from that point of view, there's no particular reason to expect it to conform to GNOME's human-interface guidelines, is there?

There's quite a bit of relationship between GTK/GIMP/GNOME, even if it may be mostly historical these days. I've always considered GIMP to be a GNOME app, and most people I know have.
