I'm investigating an issue with running GIMP later than 2.6 under wmii window manager. The issue occurs when GIMP is being run in the stacked tiling mode, when inactive windows are collapsed to their titlebars only, and the active one is maximised to the rest of the column (see here, for example: http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/9492/nntex.png).
If there's a GIMP visible in that screenshot I'm afraid it's not obvious to me.
No, there's no GIMP there, I did link that screenshot just to demonstrate the stacked layout: if you look at that, you may notice some of the windows are collapsed. I can't currently reproduce this layout with GIMP running for aforementioned reasons.
It might be from your prose that running gimp in "single window mode" would address your problems, but I'm not certain, never having come across wmii before (is it related to wm2? doesn't look like it).
No, it doesn't. I don't like single window mode, it doesn't go well with my workflow. Also, last time I tried it has some issues, so it's way too early for it yet.
P.S. We've also tried to debug the issue from the WM side; the author said it doesn't seem like a problem in the WM but in GIMP. I also think that's the case; also, this problem didn't exist in 2.6 and previous versions, so obviously something's changed in GIMP code right after.
I take it that this is in some sort of GNU/Linux operating environment and that you're using the GIMP 2.6 from the Linux distribution's package manager. If so, please let us know *exactly* which versions of GIMP you tried and exactly where you got them, along with the wmii version, the Linux distribution, and the version.
No, I'm talking about versions of GIMP starting from 2.7.*, including GIMP 2.8.0 and 2.8.4. Basically, it seems to me, the single window mode introduction has broken the multiple window mode. It doesn't matter which exactly versions, they behave the same way. I have tried different versions, and even on clean installation of Debian wheezy it behaves the same way. The only thing which could be of some importance is GTK+ version, it's 2.24.13 currently, but I've tried previously with other 2.24.* versions with same effect.
The primary testing platform for GIMP 2.6 was Debian GNU/Linux with GNOME 2. Are you running gnome-session and using wmii as your GNOME Window Manager?
No, I don't run GNOME. It's just wmii. -- WBR, Andrew
