No, they aren't: I'm not proposing to remove or change the current
behaviour. I'm proposing to add a configuration option (I don't care how
hard it is to find) to re-enable the old behaviour.
So, it's an addition that doesn't collide with the UI decisions already
taken.

Did you actually discuss the same thing that I'm proposing, that is the
*addition of a feature*?
I really hope we can solve this upstream; otherwise I'll have to create
a variant of GIMP and publish it into an Ubuntu PPA, which will be
rather sad because it will be a feature accessible only by those using
Ubuntu (I certainly don't have the energy to create a proper fork and
maintain it).
At least you will agree with me that this would be a very poor solution.

Ciao,
  Alberto
