One of the suggestions we had at that time was whether this could be done via translations and a customized 
shortcuts file. But this either didn't work, or was not followed up by the original author, I don't recall.

And there was something similar to Single Window Mode, via a plug-in that added a window to capture all the 
GIMP windows - only for the Windows platforms, IIRC.

"I originally created Gimpshop, but I'm not the jerk who owns that domain and added adware & spyware to the 
source. Sorry about that. I hate that this guy is out there making my fun little project into an abomination.

I don't have a project site for it. I became discouraged after this whole ordeal and I let it slip away into 
obscurity. …. Gimpshop was a fun little 'prank' that got bigger than I ever expected. Sad what it has become, 
though."
