[Fluxbox-users] efficiency using GIMP

[Zhang W. <zha...@re...>]

Hello. I had been looking for an efficient way to work with multi-window
applications like GIMP for long time. The special thing about gimp is
its document interface, tool box and dialogs are separate windows
belonging to the same application, and it make a lot of sense to be able
to see them all on the screen.

So, in order to work with GIMP efficiently I have to first carefully
move all these windows to different places on the screen, not
over-lapping each other. And when they are hidden behind another window
(e.g. Firefox), if I call up one of these windows (e.g. call up the
document), then all other windows should move to the same layer as the
document window.

Something similar was possible in enlightenment 1.6, called "Window
grouping", however the "window group" in flux box means something
different, the grouped window never appear together, just the opposite
to enlightenment where grouped window always appear together.

So, how do you use GIMP with fluxbox? do you suffer from the trouble of
brining different windows of GIMP to the top as I do? How do you solve it?

Best.
