Well, you probably have 2.6.1, and I'm convinced myself that there is no way for you to not have this window. (there is actually one way, which is complicated and involves autodetecting 'no-image-window' and hiding it when it exists. I guess if someone is desperate enough, they could try that 9_9) > I > do not wish to start an argument but I am almost certain that Rolf > Steinort, in one of his videos, explained how to get rid of the window. I'm completely certain that he explained how to do something that gives the illusion of this (but doesn't actually change anything much), I recall it was basically just a way to have the toolbox and docks over the image window (which struck me as cute but of no particular advantage) ; And I'm equally sure that the 'empty-image-window' is always the toplevel GIMP window (meaning if you close it, you are closing GIMP) and this isn't optional. Mainly because I've been subscribed to and paying attention to the gimp-developer mailing list for a long time, and also, while the 'transient-docks' option was introduced in 2.4 (maybe this is what you are thinking of), no new gimprc options were introduced in 2.6, other than the one Alec mentioned (according to the results of 'grep -r -e gimprc -i ChangeLog.pre-2-6 -C 3 |less') IIRC people have already asked for the ability to change this, and received very definite responses along the lines of 'no way, not going to happen.'.
