Yeah, under Fedora 27, I had to compile libmypaint from source to get 
GIMP from GIT to build. Forgot all about it... Rebuilding now, having 
made the appropriate changes to get the non-F30 version of libmypaint 
out of the way. We'll see what happens.

The result is that the Fedora 30 version of GIMP starts perfectly. The 
version from GIT, recompiled following a "make distclean", does not 
work. It crashes with the same error.
