When I first started Gimp in Ubuntu, I thought the program had not yet loaded because the toolbars and forms were scattered all over the place so I decided to wait 5 minutes for the program to load. After 5 minutes I realized that Gimp was like this by default and that really boiled my blood because I hate applications that run in mutliple windows. Programs should be simple and only run in one window to make life easier for noobs like us. Nevertheless, I found the solution to making Gimp run in one window on Ubuntu.
Instructions
- Open Terminal in Ubuntu
- Copy and paste this code: sudo apt-get install xnest metacity gimp
- Test it in order to make sure that you have installed the package successfully by copying and pasting this code: Xnest :1 -ac -name GIMP -geometry 1024x690 & metacity --display :1 & gimp --display :1
- And your done

Sure, it makes it run under one window in your wider desktop, but it's all still running in individual windows inside that window - that seems just as annoying to me :-)
Thanks a lot was looking for this!
