Ease the GIMP window arrangement

Do you work with graphics in The GIMP? Have you opened the application in the midst of tons of other windows and spend a bunch of time minimizing/maximizing all of the little tool windows that make up GIMP when you switch between applications?

If so, then here's a tip that will make working with The GIMP much easier:

Create a desktop in KDE or Gnome and name it GIMP. Only open The GIMP in that desktop, and open nothing else in there. This way, all the GIMP windows are managable by clicking onto another desktop.

You'll also want to make the wallpaper backdrop in that desktop a solid color that is easy on the eyes and not distracting so that you can focus on your graphics work.
