GTK+ provides APIs to check, change, and respond to changes to the
"iconified" or "minimized" state of a top level window. Please forgive
the use of the PyGTK docs, but here is the relevant info:

http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkwidget.html#signal-gtkwidget--window-state-event
http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkwindow.html#method-gtkwindow--iconify

It shouldn't be very hard to write a GIMP plugin that will hook into
the "window-state-event" for each editor window and keep your windows
arranged however you like.

Oh, in the mean time, you can also try hitting the Tab key when you
have an image window activated.
