Log:
* release-notes/images/2.6-emtpy-image-window.png: Updated with a
better look.

* release-notes/gimp-2.6.htrw (Toolbox Menubar Removed): A
rewritten version of the "The Empty Image Window" parapgrah that
now has an explanational undertone. The new paragraph header is
better because it has more meaning to those unfamiliar with the
new GIMP UI.

 <p>
-  A major change is the appearance of an "empty image window". This window
-  is a placeholder where your image will eventually open, also a drop zone
-  into which you can drag-and-drop your file and  start working.
-  You will also notice that the Toolbox menu is gone: it has
-  been merged into the image window menu. Toolbox and docks are treated as utility
-  windows, so if your window manager supports it, then your problems with
-  docks and toolbox getting lost under other windows are over. Unfortunately,
-  at this moment utility window hints only work correctly in metacity, the
-  GNOME default window manager.
+  The toolbox menubar has been removed and merged with the image
+  window menubar. To be able to do this a window called the <i>empty
+  image window</i> has been introduced. It hosts the menubar and keeps
+  the application instance alive when no imagas are opened. It also
+  acts as a drag and drop target. When opening the first image the
+  empty image window is transformed into a normal image window, and
+  when closing the last image, that image window is transformed into
+  the empty image window.
