In the File -> open menu, if I select many files to build the thumbnails, it takes some (...) time.

So, I switch to an other desktop (I use gnome/metacity), leaving the process to complete in the (my) background.

But there is one popup, which displays the progress bar, for each thumbnail created. This popup is created in the current desktop and not in the one The Gimp was launched.

Is there a mean to disable the progress status window or to keep it on the original desktop ?

No. We hope to get a new progress bar API into gimp-2.2 that finally solves this and other related problems.

this is a terrible thing the gimp can do. the only way i have been able to handle it was to change the behavior of the window manager. "New Window gets Focus" or something like that.

even then, depending on where the thing pops up, you can still accidently trigger the cancel.

I've added this case to bug #135185.
