GIMP needs the UFRaw plugin to read RAW files. Once the file is processed in the plugin you should be able to read it in GIMP. But you are correct editing jpeg files really defeats the purpose of shooting RAW. Also GIMP should be able to read TIFF files so save your RAW after processing as TIFF before editing in GIMP.
There is nothing wrong with shooting jpeg, especially if you do not want to spend a lot of time processing and Pentax provides a lot of settings in camera to adjust how the jpeg will look. Lots of pros shoot only jpeg and cannot be bothered with the time spent on RAW processing. You might consider using RAW+ which gives you both RAW and jpeg. If you like the jpeg just delete the RAW, if you think the image needs more work, process the RAW.
I think you need to
