Description Akkana Peck 2010-02-02 19:53:35 UTC 
With git master, when I switch desktops and return to the desktop where gimp is running, the Toolbox and layers dock have moved to a different and random place, usually on top of the image window. Every time I switch desktops I have to move both those windows before I can do anything else. Window manager is openbox 3.4.8.

Commenting out the gimp_dialog_factories_hide_with_display and gimp_dialog_factories_show_with_display lines at the end of gimp_image_window_window_state_event() fixes the problem, as in http://comm.it.cx/?p=gimp.git;a=commitdiff;h=22792d334cb7ee73b3a8247132cbb59001cec005

That is a known problem with some window managers and we probably already have a bug-report about it.

The problem also occured when toggling visibility with tab:

    Make sure that after we have set GTK_WIN_POS_MOUSE on a dialog created
    with the dialog factory, it is eventually reset. Also remove the only
    occurance of the DEBUG_FACTORY define.
