Re: controversial question (could be my fault).

Gimp will probably use UFraw for converting the RAW files. CinePaint 
may use the shipped rawphoto plug-in and the shipped dcraw. Both are based 
on DCraw, a small command line utility. UFraw can be compiled as a 
CinePaint plug-in since UFraw version 0.13.

As DCraw is evolving in quality, so different versions might create 
different results.
