digiKam crashing on every second or third XCF file - is there a config file I can modify?

Yes! this works! Well, at least on Gentoo which allows to install 
"software A" without also installing "kitchen sink".

Now digiKam imports the XCF files without any problems and shows a 
default thumbnail instead of an actual thumbnail. And my "xcf.png" 
sidecar files show what the XCF file actually looks like. And the XCF 
file can be opened with GIMP-2.9 right from within digiKam.

Best,
