Public bug reported:

When Gimp is run after a fresh install on 12.04 Precise Pangolin, the
Toolbox and the Layers, etc. Docks are located in the top-left and top-
right corners of the screens such that they are partially obscured by
the Unity Launcher and Top Panel.  This results in the Toolbox, in
particular, being unusable, because some of the buttons are
inaccessible.  It is not possible to move the docks away from these
positions.

I was able to work around this problem by changing the "Window
Management Hints" in "Preferences/Window Management" from "Utility" to
"Normal".  After closing and reloading the Gimp, this places the docks
in normal windows that are clear of the Launcher and Top Panel and able
to be relocated.  However, this will not be obvious to a new user.
