 but there is one bug it doesn't remember single window mode

 restarting gimp

Maybe it could be implemented the way Dia does (at least on Windows):
if the executable is launched directly, Dia starts like GIMP today,
i.e. independent toolbar and diagram windows; if the executable is
launched with the --integrated option, then Dia starts in single window
mode.

By default the Windows installer creates a start menu / desktop
shortcut with the --integrated option included, so I suspect the average
Windows user does not even know it could be otherwise (not bad in my
opinion, because the GTK+ Windows port does not behaves exactly the
same as in Linux native and so the desire for single window mode).

You are misunderstanding the problem. Gimp can and does remember if your last 
session was in swm. It however lacks the code currently to properly load in 
that mode. Namely remembering what was docked where and restoring that state 
does not work yet. It's a work in process not a complete feature.

 Hi,

 An interesting issue was brought up by a user. It really isn't easy
 defining a square brush with a particular length of a side. For
 example, creating a square brush with a side exactly 2px large.

 Could anything sensible be done about that? (Apart from telling users
 they don't really need 2px large square brushes, that is :))



Hi Prokoudine --

Right now, I am afraid it would not be easy - and I don't see how
someone could go and work on change the measurement on radius for
generated brushes to side when the shape is square.

However, a way to create a 2px square brush would be to make a 2x2px
selection in agrayscale image, , copy it and edit- paste as -
brush...

It would be easy to have that as a plug-in, but I can't think of a way
such a plug-in would not clutter the menus.

However, now that I mentioned it, ther is a File - create[...] action
that create a brush. (create brush from phrase)

Maybe we could come along with some more 2 or 3 ideas to populate a
file-create-brush...  submenu. There an Exact square brush...
could easily fit.

Let's see whatthe maintainers and Peter have to say on sucha  submenu,
and throw in some ideas on whatthe other entries could be.

regards,

If, for a polygonal brush, there was a read-only message displayed,
sides: 4px
that might be useful. However, if aspect ratio is not 1:1 I don't know
what would be useful, e.g. for a squashed pentagon...
