[Launchpad Bug Tracker <999603@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start Gimp from the Dash

Actual behaviour:

The Toolbox and Layers dialog start with their title bars obscured
behind the top panel. It is thus impossible to move them without using
Alt + Left Mouse Drag. Also, it is not even possible to see the names of
these windows - so a new user has no idea what they are called (unless
they use Alt + TAB).  Bringing them into focus merely puts "GIMP Image
Editor" into the panel title.

Expected behaviour:

The windows start with their title bars visible, so that the novice user
is able to (A) see what the windows are called and (B) move them by
simple drag and drop, without having to learn a new keyboard shortcut.

Alternatively, the Alt + Left Mouse Drag could be better publicized as
the preferred means for moving windows and the title of individual
windows could appear in the Unity panel when they are in focus as
opposed to simply the name of the application.
