Thanks for the work-around! That makes it clumsily, marginally better 
than going through two-level pulldowns, usable.

So this is a longstanding bug? I vaguely remember doing it 
sans-workaround "way back when" == unknown version. It was an important 
part of my workflow. Getting more convinced that nobody uses this part 
of the UI anymore. I wonder if it's worth filing on Bugzilla or if it'll 
be a "will not fix", especially if it falls in the cracks between GIMP 
and gtk (can't even find GTK+ or generic "gtk" in the Bugzilla product 
list, just specific sub-projects).

Thanks again for the quick and helpful reply. The gimp-user-list: Still 
coming through with mission-critical information after all these years!
