There is an almost trivial way of making floating selections
disappear from the user's point of view: just cause any
operation that creates a floating selection to automatically
convert it to a new layer.
The problem with this is that it would eliminate some very
useful functionality: the ability to paste into a layer mask
or selection mask (in QMask mode). Actually, it isn't obvious
to me what even an experienced Gimp hacker could do to keep
this functionality while removing floating selections.
