[Gimp-developer] [Patch] Less cluttered UI, on-demand showing of docking bars

[Martin Nordholts]

Hi

In current GIMP the docking bars are always visible even though they are
only useful when rearranging the GIMP UI. I have attached a fairly
simple patch (you need latest trunk) that hides these by default and
only shows them when a dockable-drag is started. They are hidden again
when the dockable-drag is completed.

For better understanding, look at this before- and after-patch-applied
screenshot that shows a dock when GIMP has started:

This is not a trivial UI change so I want to probe for comments on this
list before possibly applying. Any objections to me applying it? Any
suggestions for improvement?
