Sadly I think the GIMP team are facing a lot of users who want to see
GIMP look like Photoshop, just like a lot of people expect OOorg to
look like MS Office *shudders*...
To me, this is diabolical. No one wants to have a single application
take up the whole of the screen, thats why WM's come with shaders, so
we can move it out the way... but the moment we do that with the GIMP
window, it takes everything else with it too. Using lists of windows is
just a pin in the ass, you need that open all the time in order for it
to be useful, and often, it's just not the way that one thinks, "hey i
want to move the window with Untitled 12 in the name... ok - now I have
to find that in the list of window titles...", I call that a total user
interface bug.
