You don't need Ubuntu Studio for any version of Gimp. I just happened to have an interest in Multimedia, so I did a search on how to install Ubuntu Studio over my existing 9.04 setup.
For gimp 2.7.1, I just typed into my browser something like "how to install Gimp 2.7.1 in Ubuntu 9.04" then followed the instructions that the search returned. You do have to complete uninstall previous versions of Gimp . . . well, there is a way to make them run side by side, but it's simpler just to uninstall previous versions, and, since its so simple to reinstall previous versions if you find you want to revert, I didn't feel it necessary to have both versions available on my system at the same time. Although warning abound not to install 2.7.1 on a "production" system, I am happy to report that it runs just fine, has never crashed, and, once I sorted out my system resources to give the application room to run, it no longer pops up error messages. Go ahead and install it. I suspect you'll be pleased.
