 Sometimes ago, I've remarked that the menus were always on top.  

Menus are by definition always on top. Do you really mean menus?
How could menus not be on top of the window they pop up from ?

I wonder if this person is voicing a issue that I also have. When I am 
working on an image and I want to modify the hue/saturation, the first 
thing I always do is move the dialog box so that it is not covering the 
image. Perhaps it would be an improvement if there were a way for the 
GIMP to remember the location of the last dialog box and then open 
subsequent dialog boxes there. That way, I'd only have to move the 
dialog box the first time.

P.S. Cheers to the excellent work on such a great program. Bravo!

It does that already. Unfortunately a lot of window managers decided
to completely ignore this setting and center the dialog instead. We
have since removed the transient relationship from the tool dialog to
the image window and this problem is gone.

It is not what I complain against.

When I say menu, I mean the main dialog window and all the other  
dialog boxes/windows opened.

It is right for the popup.

But if I've i.e. a layer window opened and I move the picture I'm  
working on, it is not moving *over* this dialog but *under* it.

It was not the behaviour 2 dyas ago.

Please test the setting of Window Type Hints under the Window
Management page in the preferences. Depending on the window manager
you use it might be more useful to choose the Normal Window hint
for the Toolbox and the Docks.
Hope this helps,

Simon,

Fine! Many thanks!
It should be set to normal windows instead of utility window. At  
least with my system: gnome/metacity.

Thanks again
