The newest version of GIMP installs easily and works just fine with the plugin you just have to create a folder called dds in the plugin folder and place the dds plugin in that instead of the plugin folder itself.
Also the correct format when EXPORTING an image ad dds is first choosing the color format (2nd row) as RGBA8 and then choosing the Compression (first row) as BC1 / DXT1. Leave the other options on default, unless you plan on making icon file (not UI element or maps) changes, then you'll need to fiddle around with mipmaps, but as I haven't used that yet I can't give you good settings for it.
