The entries under "Open with" are provided from KDE
(as far as I understand things).
To add applications there, you have to start
  kcontrol
go to "KDE Components"/"File Associations"
and under "jpeg" add gimp
(Using "gimp-remote-2.2 %U" under Application as command).

However, normally things like this should be set up by your
system.
Which linux distribution are you using?

Best, Arnd
