There may be: obtain the last sources for 1.2 (snapshot.debian.net or something, I haven't used it in a while) and figure out the debian/rules stuff to build it yourself. It might conflict with the installed gimp though, so you'll have to work that out yourself. Check out backports.org (I think, haven't ever used it) for directions on compiling, they might have something like a tutorial. -- -Johann Koenig
