Not clear these are bugs, I'll gladly file bugs for them if it will help.

(1) filters->recently used has a list of recnetly used fiters; these menu items bringup dialogue boxes, so they should have "..." after the names, and don't.

That code is a little tricky, but I have done some changes in trunk and the labels are now correct at least for plug-ins that register their menu entries using the gimp_plugin_menu_register() API.

(2) am I the ony person bothered by having two entries for New in the file menu? They should probably be combined.

So far no one came up with a good proposal on how this could be solved.

(3) if I have an image open, and minimise/iconify it, I now have no way to create a new file, except by opening the image again. File->new from an image window copies the characteristics of that window, too, so I now find myself creating grayscale images all the time.

Ideally if you minimized the last open image, the toolbox and docks would minimize with it. Unfortunately this only works if you enable "transient-docks" and this setting has other issues.

the structure is good: 'New...' _must_ remain a first level menu item, the rest is OK to have in a sub-menu.

My solution is to rename the 'New' sub-menu to 'Create'

We have done that change in trunk.

New Layer from Clipboard, New Layer from Screenshoot ( to be explicit and correct and to be online with the Usability rules ), anyway AS IS NOW is pretty OK.

agreed with that part...

the rest is OK to have in a sub-menu.

and with this...

so I think this is a good idea.

Might be difficult to preserve the (artificial) distinction between New and Create. How about "Get From" or "Make From"?

It would be nice if we could finally get to the overhaul of the Templates menu in the "New Image" dialog. The combo-box on top should not only list the templates, but also the image that the dialog was called from and the New Image Defaults from the Preferences Dialog. Then the combo-box wouldn't have to be empty, but would clearly indicate where the settings shown below originate from. I think that would eliminate quite some confusion.
