Probably everybody knows this. It became inconvenient last night editing a big image.

Is there going to be some sort of bug fix update to 2.6.7 soon?

did you try hitting the tab key? in my GIMP (2.6.7) this brings the dialogs to the front.

This is not a bug, but a feature, present since version 2.6. You can choose the dialog behavior among three different choices. If you want to change the default one, use Image: Edit -> Preferences -> Window management.

In any case, hitting TAB hides the dialogs, hitting it again makes them to appear, and on the top of all windows. This is very convenient when you are working on a large image.
