Similarly annoying is getting *all* of Gimp's panels to appear when selecting it as an application. You get to choose just one when keyboarding through open applications. Only way I've solved this is by cycling through all other open applications and minimising them. Unnecessary.

This results in the Toolbox, in particular, being unusable, because some of the buttons are inaccessible. It is not possible to move the docks away from these positions. I was able to work around this problem by changing the "Window Management Hints" in "Preferences/Window Management" from "Utility" to "Normal". After closing and reloading the Gimp, this places the docks in normal windows that are clear of the Launcher and Top Panel and able to be relocated. However, this will not be obvious to a new user.
