Question about Gimp 2.6.1 on Ubuntu Linux

I'm running Gimp 2.6.1 on Ubuntu 8.10 (64-bit) and I've noticed when I load an image, the image window stays behind the toolbox and the layers window all the time. I didn't see a preference where I could control "always on top" behavior.

This makes it challenging for me to work with images.

Is there anything I can do about this?

Thanks!

Peace...

Tom

Or use the Tab key to toggle visibility of the Toolbox and Docks on and off.

Thanks for this tip as well. I prefer having the Toolbox and Docks windows displayed all the time, just not on top of the image window all the time. I tried the Tab key toggle and it worked just fine. Neat. :)

Thanks!
