I have a 2.6.11 and can not get it to work. I am doing something wrong, apparently.
Please describe...should gimp have a 'new' blank image open?...if so, should it be transparent?
Or should nothing be open and a new layer just appears.
What are your exact steps?
I have my knotter cake open in Knotter.
I have the graph showing.
I Edit and Select All
Edit Copy
Move to gimp and try to Edit Paste
Nothing.
There is nothing in the clipboard of gimp to paste.
The steps ore correct. It works as a normal paste for me. If GIMP has nothing open, it will create a new image, otherwise it creates a floating selection. Can you try to copy to Inkscape?

I think Rod had in mind - what I see?
Instead of (or in addition): View -> Dialogs-> Backgrund
Use the File-> Open Image (with the option to drag and drop the *. * - The file formats available-png, bmp, tif, etc.).
As far as I understand Shellout is to use a temporary file on which an external program will operate and then that file will be imported back into GIMP. So, as Knotter is concerned, it should export to that image. I don't see how opening images from Knotter (as background or otherwise) can fit in this workflow.
Anyway, ShellOut.py sends the images to the command line.
