Often when tabbing through the Gimp windows I find that any particular window will be missing. Right now it is the Tools window. How does one reopen it? The obvious place to look (View) does not have it in there. Thanks.

What operating system are you on and what version of GIMP do you use?

In GIMP 2.6 you should find the Toolbox under the Windows menu.

I am sorry, I should have mentioned. I am on Gimp 2.4 on Kubuntu 8.04.

I do not have a Windows menu, but I did find Toolbox under tools. Even better, there is a keyboard shortcut already defined. Thanks!

Not sure if this is the problem you're seeing, but note that you can toggle the toolbox and dock-dialogs with the Tab-key. If you hit that by accident windows will go missing...

Bye, Simon

How cool! Thanks, I didn't know that tab did that:)

Thank you, Simon, I think that it is safe to assume that it part of the problem. However, just a few minutes ago the Main Window disappeared on me as well. No prompt to save, nothing, it just is not there. I would suspect a problem with KDE or Compiz, but this only happens to Gimp.

When the Main Window disappears, how to get it back?
