Hmm, libgimp-1.2.so.0 is provided by gimp-1.2.3-9 which is available
from the usual YDL repository.  Same goes for libgimpui-1.2.so.0
(i.e., it is provided by the same package).

`yum install gimp' should do, in fact just installing whatever it is
that you try to install should do (xsane-gimp) since yum is supposed
to take care of dependencies automagically.  I am at a loss why is it
that it does not do it for you.
