When we split up the GIMP core into sub-directories, we also split the code into UI and core. You will find a few files in the UI sub-directories that hold nothing but config settings. Since the non-UI GIMP should be able to read the same config files that the UI-enabled GIMP uses, the non-UI code needs to be know about some config settings that are part of the UI. That's why gimp-console needs to link a few files from the non-UI parts of GIMP. Does that mean that these files should be moved to other folders? No, because they are in the right location, close to the code that actually uses them. Does that mean that there is a dependency that needs to be fixed? No, not unless you want to drop the possibility to share config files between the UI-enabled and the non-UI GIMP.
