Yes, I know Gimp consists by default of various independent sub-pane-windows.

But I could imagine that these independent window look can be reverted back to either a fixed-docked (=when one pane is moved then all others are moved as well) or even a fully integrated software tool.

Is this possible (and if yes how?)?

Since you're asking on the user list I'll assume you're not a developer first: the answer is no, you can't do that. You can dock many of the dialogs together but you can't currently dock the toolbox with the canvas window(s) with the dock (re: dialog) windows. This is "as designed".

As for "fully integrated software tool", I'd say it's already that. Having multiple windows doesn't prevent you from managing those windows from the GIMP (or any X or GTK+ based application). You can try different settings under Preferences->Window Management to see if that changes the way the windows work for you.

If you're a developer, you can discuss this feature on the developer list but it's been discussed heavily in the past. I don't know if there are plans to change this functionality. I'm hoping not.
