It's more than that. It looks like Gimp was passed the raw Windows-style
path. Gimp then tacked its working directory (/usr/bin) onto it.

There's a utility, called winepath, that can turn your Windows-style
path into a Unix-style path. You call it like so:

  winepath -u 'C:\users\utente\Temp\tempbitmap.bmp'

@paolocchio: Here's a script you can use to call Gimp with a Windows
path. It uses winepath to turn the Windows path into a Unix path so Gimp
can see it:

#!/bin/sh
gimp `winepath -u "$*"`

Associate bitmap files with this script, and you should be able to open
them with Gimp.
