I agree this is implementation terminology that probably should not be on the GUI. I find calling these dialogs to be part of the confusion (as well as being buried) . A dialogue suggest some kind of direct one-off interaction, like entering image scaling information and pressing OK, not a utility window I put on one side to be used from time to time. Since they are indeed windows , I don't see much wrong with that term. /gg > > > Making the Layers dialog discoverable under the 'Layers' menu and color > dialogs below the 'Colors' menu etc.. makes a lot of sense, but IMHO that's > the job of a 3.0 redesign -- there is a whole lot more to do than just releasing > the dockables from their current hiding place and distributing them over the > menu structure.
