Clarification for Main Toolbox window
Working my way through the documentation making changes...
see: http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-concepts-usage.html
The description for the Main toolbox window is as follows:
-------------
The Main Toolbox: This is the heart of GIMP. It contains the highest
level menu, plus a set of icon buttons that can be used to select tools,
and more.----------------
The image window contains a menu, the Main Toolbox window does not. I
just want to make certain that I am not missing something here and that
I can change this to read:-------------
The Main Toolbox: This is the heart of GIMP. It contains a set of icon
buttons used to select tools, and more.----------------

That sounds fine. I think the only tricky part is '... and more'. IMHO
you either say, that you can select tools and explain the 'more part'
afterwards in detail. Or you explain exactly what you/we currently mean
with 'more.Cheers,

Good point on the "what do we mean with "more". I did not give it a
second thought (because I was so preoccupied with the fact that the menu
no longer exists). I will make this change during the week.The only "more" that I see is that it allows me to choose the foreground
and background color; I assume that in the documentation I should use
"colour", yes?--

You are right.
Don't be surprised by that kind of "errors". GIMP-2.6 Help is an update
of v2.4. Updating is more difficult than writing from draft: we are
accustomed to the text and we can easily miss small (even important!)
changes in it :-(.
Your new vision of the text is a very good thing.Julien

It does contradict the idea of the images being the most important part of a user's GIMP session, though.
