Quite right. Primarily I just want to see the open dialogue when it's open. 
Being able to set additional/multiple guide lines in one go would be icing 
on the cake.

I'll see what I can do to get on Bugzilla. I had trouble last time.

Thanks,

The way is to figure out why it doesn't do this - that could be
platform-specific - and then fix whatever is necessary to make it stay
on top. But note that you most likely do not want it to become modal,
i.e. block the whole GIMP UI, just because on image has a dialog open.

See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770915 - some feedback on
whether this script works as expected would be useful, preferably
directly as comments in the bug report.
