It would certainly be worthwhile to improve the function that determines the initial size of a GIMP image window. This function could take into account the GIMP dockables and other image windows and check if there's dominant empty space between them. If that's the case, the image window could be sized so that it fits into this space. With some luck, the window manager will even put it there ;) This same algorithm could be made available in the View menu. It would expand an image window as much as possible w/o overlapping other GIMP windows. Most of the information necessary to implement such a heuristic could be taken from the existing session handling code. I don't know however if there's a portable way to request information about panels or other non-GIMP windows that should be taken into account. Sven
