Comment(by mark.pearson0@…):

 I have come up with a fix for this problem in the form of a couple of
 patches to the gtk2 port.

 On further investigation it turned out that the Bus Error was caused by a
 non-existent 'method' '''input_window_crossing''' being called on a quartz
 GdkWindowObject. The patches I have provided are not a permanent fix for
 gtk2 since I don't have enough in-depth knowledge about Gtk+ to know which
 parts of the quartz implementation are lacking and how to fix them, but at
 least these patches allowed me to get Gimp into a usable state. As such
 this fix should be viewed as just that - an interim measure to prevent
 Gimp from being totally unusable.

 To use the patches do the following (assuming you don't have a local port
 repository), replacing 'mark' with your username of course:

 1. Create a folder in your home directory e.g. ''/Users/mark/ports'' to
 act as the local repository[[BR]]
 2. Within that folder create a folder ''x11/gtk2'' (yes I know we're
 talking gtk-quartz here but at the moment gtk2 lives under the category
 'x11' so I'm not going to argue)[[BR]]
 3. Save the attachment ''Portfile'' to
 ''/Users/mark/ports/x11/gtk2''[[BR]]
 4. Create a folder called ''files'' in the ''x11/gtk2'' folder[[BR]]
 5. Save the two ''patch-gdk-quartz-....diff'' attachments to the ''files''
 folder you just created[[BR]]
 6. Edit the file /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf and add a line
 ''file:///Users/mark/ports'' before the ''rsync://...'' line (this means
 Macports will use locally modified ports in preference to ports of the
 same name in the global repository, in our case port 'gtk2')[[BR]]
 7. cd to ''/Users/mark/ports'' and type '''portindex''' to get Macports to
 index this local version of gtk2[[BR]]

 Then uninstall gtk2 with '''sudo port -f uninstall gtk2''', and reinstall
 (from the local repository) using '''sudo port install gtk2'''.

 Please note: This does not fix other crashes/problems I still experience
 with Gimp such as a different bus error when quitting Gimp, and also popup
 windows appearing '''behind''' the image window, toolbox and
 layers/channels dock window.

 Hopefully this information is useful to somebody.
