Hey, don't prevent me from using one of my favourite layouts! :-) Really, having all icons on a single column is quite useful sometimes. As I mentioned in my previous message, this fits perfectly on a Sun screen (1152x900) because the height of the single-column toolbox is 880 pixels + the WM title. And since it is so thin, I can configure my WM to make the Gimp toolbox appear on all workspaces. I like this when I work with large images and I put one very large window in each workspace. I did not ignore the menu problem. If the "Help" bug is fixed (it is a one-line change in app/menu.c to make it last-from-left), then only the "File" menu is visible. But when I work with very large images, I do not need the "Xtns" menu at all, so I can live without it until I finish working on full-screen images and go back to a more traditional layout for the Gimp toolbox. That being said, I also like the columns-spinbutton idea, as long as the minimum is 1 column. I agree with the other parts of your message, and with your suggestion to move the Measure tool in the View menu or Info window. -Raphael
