Another good point is that there is no point in having the docking bars microscopically small any longer so I have attached a new patch that makes them larger. You need to make install in $GIMP_SRC_ROOT/themes in order for the change in docking bar height to take effect. I also fixed another issue with trying to hide a destroyed docking bar.
