I am running Gimp 2.8.10 on Ubuntu 14.04 (installed from the repositories). With previous Ubuntu versions it was possible to run it in Single-Window Mode; this is no longer the case with 14.04:

Is there any way to get this feature working on Ubuntu 14.04?

Even when running Gimp 2.8 in Single Window Mode we can still detach docks to a separate window if needed.

In case we had accidentally or from previous settings many detached docks we can reattach all docks to a single Gimp window by disabling (unticking) Windows > Single Windows Mode and then re-enabling it again. This will move all detached docks back to the single window.

  • Every time I start up Gimp docks come out detached. I then de-select and re-select the Single Window Mode and the docks get integrated into the image window. What a weird behaviour. – Luís de Sousa Oct 31 '14 at 21:10
  • That's weird indeed - I suspect something wrong in your user setting, but have no idea where to look... you can test this if Gimp from you guest account behaves as expected, if so then this indicates a setting in your HOME is faulty. If the guest account is bad too then there may also be global settings somewhere... – Takkat Oct 31 '14 at 21:46
  • @LuísdeSousa: here's another possibility you could try: In Preferences go to Window Management and check Save windows positions on exit (or in Tool Options then same). This will load Gimp with previous settings on next start. – Takkat Oct 31 '14 at 22:55
  • I have checked in the various 14.04 systems I run and in all the Save windows positions on exit seems to be on by default. – Luís de Sousa Nov 03 '14 at 07:42
