Another thing about Multiple Window Mode that I really like and use a 
lot, is the ability to go full screen with the image (F11), and then put 
the Toolbox-with-dialogs on top of the image to get another tool, move a 
layer, change a tool setting, see a readout, etc.

Being able to easily move the Toolbox around the screen, especially in 
full screen mode, depending on the part of the image I'm working on, is 
also a feature I use a lot, and something I don't think you can do in 
when in whatever it is that passes for full screen in SWM.

I know a lot of people like SWM, and I'm glad it's there for people who 
like it. But to me, SWM doesn't seem like a good use of screen real 
estate, there's too much "stuff" around the image itself.
