I'd usually prefer it the other way.  i say usually, because in the
case that I can't find the toolbox because I think I have iconfied
it, forgot I pressed tab (or pressed it by mistake), this way I'll
find it again easily.

Hi,

I have attached a patch to bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556896 

The patch is simple, but it has one problem:

The user can already hide/unhide the toolbox and docks using the Tab key. The
patch hooks into this functionality. This means that if the user hides the
toolbox and docks using the Tab key, then iconifies the image window and
deiconfies it again, the toolbox and docks will be shown again.

It should be possible to work around this, but it would introduce additional
complexity. So I would like to know if this is considered a problem at all.

 Should utility hinted dialog windows minimize with the image window

 the last non-minimized image window?
 This is also an additional use case for the No image open
 specification: http://gui.gimp.org/index.php/No_image_open_specification

 The reason for starting this discussion is (from bug report):
 We need the UI team to make a decision on this before any changes  
 can be
 implemented.
 So, hello UI team, are you out there?

yes, we are here to save you.

quoting myself from the 5th of October:

 minimising all image windows, or the no-image-window,
 should minimise the whole app, meaning the toolbox and inspectors
 get hidden.
