Well, basically it's just a bug - let's say you have three images open and you enabled transient utility windows. currently when you minimize an image to the taskbar, the utility windows all minimize with - although there are still two images that are not minimized and are visible on the desktop. Also, the utility windows never return, even after you un-minimize the first image. So the solution is this: utility windows should stay un-minimized as long as there's even a single un-minimized image, and if all N open images are minimized, should minimize, but return when at least one of them is un-minimized. Again, not being a programmer, I can't tell why this is happening. perhaps because of missing functionality in GTK, perhaps its a problem with the implementation by te GIMP devs. I just thought it was worth asking here, maybe I could get the ball rolling. > I use gimp on its own virtual desktop.

Yes, well, that's a workaround - my workaround is to simply never minimize any image window, and if I do minimize one - I can restore the utility windows using shortcuts. but, you know, it would be much better if things worked out without needing a workaround. Oh, by the way - Microsoft actually do have a powertoy for WindowsXP giving you four virtual desktops - google "Virtual Desktop Manager xp". _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
