Thank you Dominik and Sven, To answer your questions: I use XFCE as my desktop manager and have done so for many years. I have had limited experience with KDE and the old Gnome. At present I have only GNOME(3) and XFCE on my machines.
Using XFCE I can change the sticky state of any window by clicking in the tiny circle at the far left of the titlebar or by typing <alt>f6. this works for any window, including the Gimp main window, but does not work on the Layers/Channels/Paths, Toolkit or tool options windows. I changed desktop this evening to GNOME and was not able to even find a way to get multiple workspaces. Since (at present) I cannot get multiple workspaces using GNOME I cannot try "sticky state". I could go into the GNOME manuals to find out about multiple workspaces but I think that would be a waste of time and not solve my problem of the super-sticky windows. This small exercise reinforced my impression that GNOME3 is built for iphone users not for people who want to really use their computers as computers. GNOME has really screwed up. Anyway, that's how it stands. Since every other window, apart from those mentioned, works as ordered I am sure that it's a Gimp problem (maybe on purpose). I have tried the Gimp help but cannot find any reference to sticky windows or multiple workspaces. I just hope that someone can guide me to a solution. Gimp communicates well with my window manager in the case of the main window, just not with those other three windows. -- nitram2001 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
