You say "I use Linux now [...]". Did you use something else when it worked?

In any case, what GIMP 2.6 has done is simply to change the default in

Edit -> Preferences -> Window Management

for

Hint for the toolbox
Hint for other docks

to 'Utility window' instead of 'Normal'. This change in defaults was
made possible with the introduction of the Empty Image Window. Perhaps
when it worked you had those set set to 'Keep above' ?
