A SMALL feature request(comfortable for wacom users)

Hi!

There is a minor, but really annoying problem with the current layout of the user interface, regarding the dockable tabs part. For adding a new tab, I only have to drive my mouse/wacom pen over the tab area. On the other hand, if I grip and drag the tab, it becomes a new window.

It is easy to get confused if you have a wacom pen. Quite often, when I intend just to switch in between tabs, the pen can move more and GIMP immediately turns my tab into a new window. It is kind of time-consuming, to change back all the non-wanted windows into tabs.

I would like to make a feature request. It would be nice if GIMP could "lock" tab positions and tab numbers in a given window. So until it is locked, it could not be moved.
It would be similarly as in the case of quick launcer in the top menubar(GNOME menu).

I have made a small image for better showing my problem: http://www.pvvbitech.hu/kicsuszik.png
Thanks for your help,
Khiraly

Increasing the dnd-drag-threshold should help. Put something like this into your ~/.gtkrc-2.0:

dnd-drag-threshold = 50

Wouldn't be better (and more intuitive) to create a new window for a tab only if you dnd the tab out of the dock?

In theory yes. In practise I don't see a way to implement that based on the DND API.
