Are you "handy" with Excel etc? Not tested but you "ought" to be able to 
massage GGR files using formula in a spread sheet possibly with some 
before-after manipulation with (say) Notetab clips or perl or python 
scripts to convert:
GGR-file --> CSV-file -- {manipulate with Excel} -- CSV file --> GGR-file.

Unfortunately, I think GIMP loads all the gradients at startup - I don't 
know whether there is anyway to get it to refresh itself based on 
current GGR files. Maybe playing with file preferences would trigger this?

If you get this message before 3:00 AM EST Sunday May 25, the 
GiveawayOfTheDay today is ArtStudio: 
http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/artstudio/ Unfortunately its 
requirements are fairly challenging:

    * Windows XP/Vista; Microsoft .NET framework 2.0; DirectX 9; Video
      accelerator card with 'Pixel Shader 2.0' support

I didn't know what 'Pixel Shader 2.0' was but apparently I have it  8-)
It can do some "neat" things with gradients (and a whole lot of other 
special effects). Maybe others here will have a chance to check it out.
