[Bug 795038] Re: Using GIMP in Unity is troublesome & unintuitive
I'm marking this as invalid both because GIMP will be soon single windows (http://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.7.html) and because either for Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10 there will be an option to have integrated menus in the titlebar (for instance see http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/02/ubuntu-12-04-to-ditch-global-menu/).

These problems are most likely to be fixed if each has its own bug report with precise steps to reproduce. For example, the steps for (1a) might be something like this: 1. On one workspace, launch Firefox 2. On another workspace, launch Gimp 3. Focus Gimp's document window 4. Click Firefox's launcher item 5. Click Gimp's launcher item Bug 646029 may also be related.

This is confirmed, when switching desktops by clicking on the icons of the Unity launcher the GIMP windows changes focus, when swithing desktops by using keyboard shotcuts (CTRL-ALT -> or CTRL-ALT <-, for instance) the focus remains in the GIMP window which had focus before the switch. ** Changed in: unity Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/795038 Title: Using GIMP in Unity is troublesome & unintuitive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/795038/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The single-window mode it's better, because it handles better the menus, etc... on Unity.

Re: [Bug 795038] Re: Using GIMP in Unity is troublesome & unintuitive
Maybe the unity panel has to get the "main menu" from the "main window" of the app. For example, on GIMP it uses the menu of the GIMP window, not the tools/whatever window. So, If u change to the tools window, you'll get the same menu on the panel as if you have selected the gimp window.
