Aren't the dockable toolbox windows supposed to be set as always-on-top so that an overlapping image window 
isn't necessarily a problem?

Anyway, check your GIMP preferences, Window Management, "hint for docks and toolbox".  I believe the default 
setting is "utility window", which should imply always-on-top status by default (it at least works in Windows 
XP and Windows 10) .
