The utility feature seems to be broken in windows.  I tried it for a 
little while but had to switch it off.  I forget exactly why.  I think 
some canvas windows would always be hidden if you had more than one 
file/view open in utility mode.  I'd be more specific but I really can't 
remember.

Btw, (off topic) recently something changed on both gimp user and 
developer so that all emails appear to come from the mail bot rather 
than the original sender  Thus, I never know who's talking in an email 
unless they sign themselves.  I was fiddling around with my settings at 
the time but I'm pretty sure I set everything back to how it was.  I 
wondered if someone made a change in the admin settings in an attempt to 
fix the annoying reply-to issue, cos that seems to work ok now.
