Joe,

you can try the latest version using git.

You probably need to do:

sudo apt-get install git libtiff4-dev libclutter-gtk-0.10-dev 
libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev 
libsoup-gnome2.4-dev libgnome-keyring-dev libbrasero-media-dev 
libdbus-glib-1-dev

followed by the instructions at http://live.gnome.org/gthumb/development:

git clone git://git.gnome.org/gthumb
cd gthumb
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr CFLAGS="-ggdb"
make
sudo make install

Be aware that compiling your own software is doable, but not always easy.
