It must be something that can't possibly be construed as sexual innuendo, like Linux Image Manipulation Program (LIMP)...

It's a GNU program, not a Linux program. It runs on multiple platforms.

eg: the Windows Image Manipulation System

Not the strongest name. Sounds kinda weak.

Maybe "Photographic Image Manipulation Program"?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
