Gimp running with "native" GTK on OS X does not suffer from this problem thanks to OS X being an application-centric desktop rather than a window-centric desktop that Windows and most Linux desktops tend to be. Not sure what the solution should be. I suppose Gimp could use of the many MDI hacks to put everything in one window with child windows (yuck!). Or use GTK's standard MDI with tabs and make the other pallets dock-able. Of course that doesn't always work out well either. What do the gimp developers suggest be done? I use gimp on its own virtual desktop. This works very well. Of course Windows still does not have virtual desktops (they claim it's not a feature anyone has asked for). I have configured compiz to let me switch between grouped windows using alt-backtick, which kind of simulates OS X's wonderful window-switching shortcut (command-`). > I wanted to know if this was something you guys were aware of this and if there > are plans to address this issue - If this is solved, GIMP will make a huge leap > forward in terms of usability. I'm not a GIMP developer, just a user. Seems to me to solve this problem there has to be a direct conversation between the Gimp developers and GTK developers. I've been a lurker on the GTK development list (gtk-devel-list) for years and haven't see any conversation about this. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
