We have discussed this and it would be very difficult to implement, ifnot impossible. This is because such functionality would have to beimplemented at the window manager level.
Your request is also somewhat obsolete due to a couple of changes intrunk that will be in GIMP 2.6. For window managers that honor the"utility" window hint, the problem is basically solved. What's currentlymissing is a proper implementation of this window manager hint in theWin32 port of GTK+/GDK. If you can help with that, that would be verymuch appreciated and it would basically solve your feature request.

Please try if this API can be used to implement the behavior describedabove. There's a bug report for this athttp://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132501
