Gutsy has RC3, so I figure it will end up with the final.

To use the splash just open a terminal, type "sudo nautilus" and copy the splash to: /usr/share/gimp/2.0/images/

God beware! Never use sudo for a graphical application! Never!
The correct command should be :
gksu nautilus

Put it on your desktop.

sudo mv /usr/share/gimp/2.0/images/gimp-splash.png /usr/share/gimp/2.0/images/gimp-splash.png_backup

cd Desktop

sudo mv 67934-gimp-splash.png /usr/share/gimp/2.0/images/gimp-splash.png

Why?

Because sudoing a graphical program is a serious security risk.
Can also screw up Your computer. (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=181867)
