This page lets you customize the way windows are handled in GIMP.
You should note that GIMP does not manipulate windows directly,
instead it sends requests to the window manager (i. e., to Windows
if you are running in Windows; to Metacity if you are running in a
standard Gnome setup in Linux; etc). Because there are many window
managers, and not all of them are well behaved, it cannot be
guaranteed that the functions described here will actually work as
described. However, if you are using a modern,
standards-compliant window manager, they ought to.

<p>
The choices you make here determine how the Toolbox, and the
docks that hold dialogs, will be treated. If you choose
"Normal Window", they will be treated like any other
windows. If you choose "Utility Window", they will be
raised into visibility whenever you activate an image
window, and kept in front of every image window. If you
choose "Keep above", they will be kept in front of every
other window at all times. Note that changes you make here
will not take effect until the next time you start GIMP.

<dd>
<p>
Normally, when you focus an image window (usually
indicated by a change in the color of the frame), it
becomes the "active image" for GIMP, and therefore the
target for any image-related actions you perform. Some
people, though, prefer to set up their window managers
such that any window entered by the pointer is
automatically focused. If you do this, you may find that
it is inconvenient for focused images to automatically
become active, and may be happier if you uncheck this
option.

<b>Window Positions</b>
</p>
<dl>
<dt>
<span class="term">Save window positions on exit</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
If this option is checked, the next time you start GIMP,
you will see the same set of dialog windows, in the same
positions they occupied when you last exited.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">Save Window Positions Now</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
This button is only useful if "Save window positions on
exit" is unchecked. It allows you to set up your windows
they way you like, click the button, and then have them
come up in that arrangement each time you start GIMP.

<p>
If you decide that you are unhappy with the arrangement of
windows you have saved, and would rather go back to the
default arrangement than spend time moving them around,
you can do so by pressing this button.
