New Guides script glitches

Quite right. Primarily I just want to see the open dialogue when it's open.
Being able to set additional/multiple guide lines in one go would be icing
on the cake.
I'll see what I can do to get on Bugzilla. I had trouble last time.
Thanks,

Oh wait, when I got rid of my main window, there was the dialogue
for the New Guides script hiding underneath everything. Is there any
way for this dialogue (and all others) to be “always on top” and
then disappearing once the guide has been set? Actually, one might
want the dialogue to stay active and on top until all the guides have
been set.
The way is to figure out why it doesn't do this - that could be
platform-specific - and then fix whatever is necessary to make it stay
on top. But note that you most likely do not want it to become modal,
i.e. block the whole GIMP UI, just because on image has a dialog open.
The other glitch in this otherwise handy tool is that the New Guides
script can only set a specific distance in pixels, not inches,
points or any other measure. Maybe in the next version?
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770915 - some feedback on
whether this script works as expected would be useful, preferably
directly as comments in the bug report.
