"I personally, deffinitely prefer the Gimp being a program that always showsas a single entry in the taskbar that's really my main concern, it's justeasier to manage single entry programs with a multiple applications workflow." But GIMP 2.7 solve that. Maybe you don't use 2.7. A single entry intaskbar and when the canvas window is minimized all other utilitywindows are minimized too. 2009/9/6 Ramón Miranda <mirandagraphic@xxxxxxxxx>:> David G said>>always opened like this and Gimp already has the ability to save it's>> layout too.
