Did you install it using some package manager (eg. synaptics apt)? If
so, you should uninstall the application using that manager.

If compiled from source and you keep the compiled source, you can run
"make uninstall" in the root source directory to delete the installed
files. (I personally do it this way.)

If you do not have the source, you can delete the files manually, however,
it could be quite tricky. I would propose downloading the source code
of the same version again, compile it and install to some other location
(./configure --prefix=/tmp/cinepaint_test). Then you can check what
files got installed.

By the way, if you configure the new version of cinepaint with a different
prefix (./configure --prefix=/opt/cinepaint-0.22-1), you can keep the
old version and use it in paralel (the only problem could be $HOME/.cinepaint
incompatibility).

I am not sure if the user's config file remains the same or is treated
correctly during upgrade. Anyway, you can make a backup of it and delete
it. A new one will be created when CinePaint runs for the first time.

(By the way, there is a cinepaint in one of the edgy repositories, I
am not sure about breezy. However, it is not compiled with GTK2 support.)
