> Gimp has bugs, is the problem of devs Gimp, the same is for glib, but both projects are Gnome, so the devs are the same, so if problem is gimp, why back to glib 2.72, solves problem? If the problem is Gimp, not glib?

This was already answered by the glib developer in the issue you opened. Did you even read it? Because gimp is using glib wrong and glib stopped ignoring this wrong usage which triggered this bug. The bug was always in gimp, but it was only triggered now that glib checks for it. This is an issue in gimp and should be fixed in gimp, but I don't have enough experience to fix it and noone else seems to currently, so we will fix it by reverting glib to 2.72 for now. When a proper fix is available, we will apply it to gimp and update glib again.

> I updated glib 2.74, several software no longer started, I went back to glib 2.72, everything worked again, the applications are GTK, although Gimp has problems in the source code, glib 2.74 has problems too.

Not a single other person reported that, so it's either an issue on your side or an issue somehow specific to your setup. glib 2.74 definitely has some bugs, all software does.
