I found this "bug" recently, and discussed it with someone in #gimp on
the GNOME IRC, who helpfully pointed out that this was due to the
toolbox and other dialogs being hinted by the window manager as Utility
windows. This is configurable in the Preferences, under the Window
Manager heading, with dropdown boxes to choose the window manager
hinting.

The default behavior is "questionable" and a bit confusing, but this is
not a bug.

In short, to change in order to get expected behavior:

1. Open Edit Menu
2. Go to Preferences
3. Go to the Window Management section on the left.
4. On the right, examine the dropdown boxes under the Window Manager Hints heading, and select Normal Window for it to be treated as a window.
5. Restart the GIMP.
