    Thanks. I didn't notice anything different after installing the extra software. In the end, it doesn't matter. I've started developing ways and habits of dealing with the GIMPs unique interface. For instance, if reading a tutorial, I click on the tutorial window once to read and then click on it again to minimize it. Meantime, I have the picture, GIMP and the layers window behind and when I minimize the other file, it pops me back into all three. It's workable for now.

    Thank you for the response and suggestions.

    nolgroth - I'll encourage you to try full screen mode... once you try full screen, you'll never go back

    (though it may also be that I rarely worked on anything other than a dual screen setup that makes this soo nice)...
