Boudewijn, thanks! for the information. On KDE bugzilla, would a request 
for supporting GIMP 2.9 XCF files go under "product: kdelibs, component: 
kimgio"?

Is there any kind of concensus as to whether the GIMP 2.9 XCF file 
format stable enough that it would it be worth filing a bug 
report/enhancement request for support for GIMP 2.9 XCF files?
