I don't have a recent build around to check this, but I think you will find that the binary is now just called gimp-1.3. So go to the %files section of the spec file and edit the appropriate line. Of course, you should check this is really what it is called by having a look at the contents of the v/ar/tmp/gimp-1.3.11-root/usr/bin/ directory. This is just due to bit rot over time as hardly anybody regularly builds development versions from the included spec file, I would guess.
