   For the rare cases where you need more than one Layers dialog, you
   can open a second (or even a third one). At least currently GIMP
   doesn't keep you from doing that.

Using 2.4.0, I tried opening three images, and typing ctrl-L in each
to open a layers dialog.  It only opened the one dialog (and again, as
soon as I move the mouse into one of the images, the image in the
layers dialog changes).

Nor was I able to do it from either the file menu on the toolbox or
the dialogs menu on the images.
