I previously unsuccessfully made suggestions on changing the menu layout
I have taken the glade file provided in the gpaint-2-0.3.0-pre5 tarball
and made some changes using a copy of Glade 2.6.8 and put them on the web.

http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~horkana/gpaint/gpaint.glade
Having previously had problems with the lack of Undo in Glade and messing
up comlicated changed I kept my changes very simple this time.
I moved the Effects into a top level menu. I used the mnemonic _t
Effec_ts rather than _c so that it would be similar to Adobe Photoshop
which uses Fil_ters.
I also moved Flip and rotate out of submenus directly into the Image menu
and added keybindings.
---
Rotate Right Ctrl+R
Rotate Left Shift+Ctrl+R
---
Flip Left to Right Ctrl+M
Flip Top to Bottom Shift+Ctrl+M
I used the keybinding R for Rotate.
I considered using F for Flip but the GIMP uses Ctrl+F for repeate Filter
(Effect) which is something that gpaint might want to be consistant with
at some point in the future so I used M for Mirror instead. The GIMP
uses M for Merge Layers, something I dont ever expect gpaint to have).
I'm hoping this time you will be able to make use of my changes.
(Ideally before version 3.0 but I dont mind waiting.)
If this works out I hope to change the new Image dialog, to use adjustment
widgets, standard button layout and maybe other minor changes.
If/When gpaint starts using GTK 2.6 I'd like to use the new standard GTK
About dialog (but I dont suppose that's relevant).
Sincerely
