So could you answer what is IMO the key question:
In your educated guess, are the GIMP-vs-window-management problems:
1) bugs in the port of GTK+, or
2) are they inherent limitations of "window properties" model of
the interaction between an application and graphic system? The
limitations which may be addressed only by adding specific CODE
to application (as opposed to specific DATA on the app-WM interface)...
(This is just a restatement of my question on a "parallel" message in
this thread, with subject "single-window fix and WMs", so it is enough
to answer one of them...)
Thanks,
Ilya
