I doubt that this will work for me since I'm not only working with Gimp. 
I also work with many other programs that don't follow this pattern. If 
thats good or not isn't the real issue. It makes Gimp stand out and also 
in some aspect a pain to use, especially if you worked with another 
program and now opened Gimp for a small correction.
