I'll happily do that; I'm just trying to explore the issue first, to 
see if I've missed something.  The gtk runtime version on win32 is 
2.4.7, from your gimp.org page.  (This is another issue, but I've 
tried the gtk 2.6.6 runtime and I find it's inordinately slow on 
startup relative to 2.4.7, on both win98 and XP.)

I'll have to do more testing to answer that (which is a big pain,
I'm afraid, since I have just the one machine that has to be 
rebooted into Windows XP for test purposes, ugh).

I can say that the "creep" problem definitely occurs when the window 
in question is maximized before exit.  I can't say for sure that it 
occurs when the window is resized but not maximized.
