You're right, GIMP imported it with hardly a problem. I cleaned up

I understand the websites list is not a good place for such kind of
reply, but I think it is an useful advice: compressinging with bzip2
or gzip is a much better choice for such files (even if the
compression rate is about the same):
- you can create the archive easily, just "save as" from Gimp and
put a .xcf.bz2 or .xcf.gz extension;
- you can open the files easily, just double click on them (in
Nautilus) and they will automatically be opened in Gimp (or drag
them from desktop in the Gimp window in any OS, I believe);
- Nautilus recognize them as images and will generate thumbnails.
Thanks Nicu, I didn't know about the GIMP's archiving feature. My
only concern is that people using other apps that import GIMP files
won't be able to open the archived file automatically.
What other apps would those be, though? I don't think that's a very
common use case, so I wouldn't worry about it. Worst case scenario
they need to extract the XCF before opening it.

You two are right, I'm not thinking straight this morning. Remembering
now that I have to export as PNG or something anytime I need to open
files in other apps anyway. :)
