As for being up to date, everything to do with how the slackware repo
is maintained. The Gimp 2.6 manual is work in progress so use the
online version if you need the latest. I think this is ver.2.6.1 and
does not follow the Gimp version number.

I don't bother these days with installing help but in the past when
my installed version was lagging behind, dumped the web site to a
local drive with wget -r -p -np http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/ then
grafted the files into the Gimp help directory.


When in doubt rebuild everything. After much fussing around I
wiped out the .gimp-2.6 file from my home directory. Then I
downloaded the 2.6.11 source in bzip form. Then I went through
the usual machinations. When I restarted gimp it couldn't find
the documentation locally but offered me the option to use the
online html version. I chose that option and that is what is working
now.

I suspect there was something in my .gimp-2.6 directory that
was left over from a Salix download of gimp and that was messing things up.
But in any case when I click the Help->Gimp Manual button I go to the
web page version automatically and instantly via Firefox. This is
the latest anyhow. 

Thanks for your help.
