Until that is implemented, you can do something like this by creating additional personal .gimp-2.x directories from copies of your base one, one for each UI configuration, and specifying which gimprc to use when running gimp (example commandline: "gimp --gimprc ~/.gimp-2.7-photoedit/gimprc"). Once you've done that, just customize the UI accordingly for each profile. Then everything is ready and you can just create shortcuts or menu items that run a command like "gimp --gimprc ~/.gimp-2.7-photoedit". If you want your suggestion implemented, I suggest doing it yourself. AFAIK it's not too hard, and no developer currently has enough interest in it to implement it themselves.
