Try to go to Edit | Preferences (not File | Preferences - somewhat
confusing) and change Window Manager Hints to 'normal window'. But I do
believe there is an issue with the windows under Windows.

No help here. I didn't feel any difference...

There was a larger change in the way Sript-Fu works between 2.2.x and
2.4.x. I had to rework my scripts too - the changes aren't too
complicated to add. Check this:

BTW, going back to (or staying with) and older version is hardly a threat.
You're just missing out on all the great new things the GIMP people work
hard to add.
