Problem with Gimp on Ubuntu 8.10

I just installed a clean Ubuntu 8.10 on my system, and there seems to be something wrong with the transient toolbox and docks. Gimp 2.6 is not supposed to have taskbar buttons, but as it's currently set up on my system, they do appear. I was able to remedy the situation by adding (transient-docks yes) to gimprc - but most users won't know about that. Can you contact the Ubuntu repository maintainers and send them an updated gimprc so new users will be able to enjoy this feature?

Thanks - Michael

By the way, the new free select tool is AWESOME.

I assume you are using compiz as your window manager? It should work better with metacity.

We can't enable transient-docks by default due to other problems, see Bug 322577 – Transient dock setting and multiple files http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=322577
