By convention you should never put anything that isn't a standard
package for you distro in /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin or /usr/sbin because (1)
it may get overwritten by a distro update and (2) it will get lost when
you do a clean install. 

Locally developed programs and contributions from others should be put
in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin (the latter is for sensitive,
root-only type programs to keep them out of the hands of untrusted
users). Make sure that /usr/local/bin is on the search path. A fresh
Linux install will still loose stuff you've put in /usr/local/bin unless
you keep a copy in a safe place or, better, adopt an upgrade strategy
similar to the one I describe here:

Did you reconfigure DVDSubEdit to call gimpwrapper instead of running
the Gimp directly?

If you're sure you did that, I suggest putting the line:

    echo "gimpwrapper: $f1"

into gimpwrapper as the 3rd line, i.e. immediately in front of the 
"gimp $f1" line, running DVD SubEdit from the console and seeing what
gimp wrapper is passing the the Gimp.
