Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2967

Problem: With the Inkscape profile, when you try to save as GIMP .xcf File, the following is returned from Inkscape:

Gimp must be installed and set in your path variable.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gimp_xcf.py", line 284, in <module>
    e.affect()
  File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex.py", line 283, in affect
    self.effect()
  File "gimp_xcf.py", line 253, in effect
    raise GimpXCFGimpNotInstalled
__main__.GimpXCFGimpNotInstalled

Solution: Add the following to the Inkscape profile before the include disable-programs.inc rule,

# Exporting GIMP .xcf requires:
noblacklist ${HOME}/.config/GIMP
noblacklist ${HOME}/.gimp*

System Info:
- Firejail version: 0.9.58.2
- Linux version: Debian 10, Linux kernel 4.19.0-6-amd64

Note 1: The mentioned solution rule does not exist in the latest Firejail version as well.
Note 2: In Firejail v0.9.58, the Inkscape profile did not have noblacklist rules for Python interpreters, which causes lots of problems. I already added the following to inkscape.local:

# Enable Python interpreters for Inkscape

# Python 2
noblacklist ${PATH}/python2*
noblacklist /usr/include/python2*
noblacklist /usr/lib/python2*
noblacklist /usr/local/lib/python2*
noblacklist /usr/share/python2*

# Python 3
noblacklist ${PATH}/python3*
noblacklist /usr/include/python3*
noblacklist /usr/lib/python3*
noblacklist /usr/local/lib/python3*
noblacklist /usr/share/python3*

Good catch, +1.
IMHO we should bring this in. @kmotoko only allowing ${HOME}/.gimp* didn't work?
Works it with

noblacklist ${HOME}/.config/GIMP
noblacklist ${HOME}/.gimp*
read-only ${HOME}/.config/GIMP
read-only ${HOME}/.gimp*

@rusty-snake I get the same error when only ${HOME}/.gimp* is allowed.

@rusty-snake, put it in. We are already doing something similar with Thunderbird + Firefox.
