Warning: both these plug-ins are considered unstable. This package contains Gimp-FreeType (CVS 20040202) and Gimp Animation Package (1.3.25) plug-ins for Gimp 2.0pre2.

Sure, you can move GIMP to a seperate desktop, but there are numerous reasons that people may not want to do so.

But instead, each window is managed completely indepently, so you must manually activate each window. If GIMP handled things this way, no one would complain. They only get focus when their parent app is active, and then they automatically become active. On the Mac, toolbox windows are not considered first-class windows. The Mac uses a similar windowing style, except for this key difference. It's a nusicance to have to manually move three (or more) seperate windows to the front everytime you want to switch apps. All they really need to do is change the app so that if any GIMP window is brought to the front, then they all are. With Linux though I keep my apps spread out over multiple virtual workspaces so it's not an issue.

I guess when using windows it could get confusing if you have multiple apps open, and the gimp windows are scattered around. I want to be able to put a window anywhere on the screen that I want to put it. I think the 'window within a window' style that microsoft often employs is cumbersome.

Better than gimp mac os x
