Midpoints are the points along the gradient where the two
endpoint *colors* of a segment are equally blended.  By default,
midpoints are placed at the geometric center of the segment, but they
can be moved to any other point along the segment.

Note that a lot of the relevant concepts might already be covered in
the documentation for the "old" gradient editor
(gimp-gradient-editor-dialog section), so it's worth taking a look at.
