I made a script for importing gimp image file (xcf), you can import the flatened image or one image per layer.
You need to install xcftools (http://henning.makholm.net/software), i m afraid its linux only. If someone knows a similar tool for windows or mac i can adapt the script.

Copy the script to your blender scripts directory, and it should appear in the file->import menu.
Hope someone finds it useful.
sorry for my bad english.

Hey, yes it is, I did edit this in, but didn’t see your reply yet. (didn’t refresh the page, didn’t expect a reply so soon)
