I finally updated to latest trunk and tested it out. All in all its progress for the better...

What I like: *Toolboxes moving with image window
Currently its very buggy, toolboxes disappear completely when image is out of focus and don't always reappear to taskbar or come up with image. IMHO that is not the expected behaviour. Id expect the feature to keep dialogs visible and bring them on top when image gains focus. Its already better than nothing tho.

*Unified menu in the image window. Its much more comfortable

What confused me was that Preferences are under "Edit" menu. I assumed from prior experience its under file menu.

I don't much mind the Wilber zone on top of toolbox, but I did notice that Wilber only scales horizontally. Witch with my layout where I use single line toolbox it is hardly recognizable.

Here's a screenshot of my layout: http://a.death.pri.ee/sample_layout.jpg

Scaling the Wilber to the shorter side size would make it look cleaner, but what I believe would be best is keeping the zone in the top left end of the toolbox no matter the size but always against the shorter side of the box. So if the box is long it would be an almost square at the left end and if its tall it the same on top...

Other than that its coming along great:)

Huh? There is no code that would move the toolbox with the image window. What exactly are you refering to? Perhaps your window manager is doing strange things for windows that have the utility window hint set. What window manager are you using?
