No, it means the bugs are in GTK+, not GIMP, and it requires GTK+ developers who run Windows to fix these bugs (or a GIMP developer who runs Windows and has some knowledge of GTK+ and an inclination to fix these bugs).

Your expectations that GIMP will exert such extreme control over the window management are also unreasonable. Your window manager manages your windows, GTK+ communicates to the window manager what window behaviour GIMP is asking for, GIMP communicates to GTK+ what window behaviour it wants. The particular 'communications breakdown' is between GTK+ and the Windows window manager, GIMP is not involved in the problem, only a casualty of it. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
