gimp-1.3.23: How to dock dialogs to main window?

For some reaon, I closed all the dialogs that were displayed below the main gimp window (i.e. the one that shows all the tools). So that is now an empty useless canvas what is the trick to dump the dialog tabs in that lower window again?

There is a rectangle at the bottom of the toolbox that changes it's color when you drag a dockable over it. It also has a toolbox saying "You can drop dockables here". I would suggest you follow that hint.

^^^^^^^
That should have read "tooltip" of course.

Thanks Sven. I found the rectanble via the tooltip (I would call it the divider between the toolbox and the empty canvas below for the toolbox), however nothing happens when I drag a window (like the layers or tool dialog) over that rectable. The color does not change either.

We call it a separator but I though that using that term wouldn't help you.

Works for me. Now I wonder why it doesn't work for you. What platform, GTK+ version, window manager, ... are you using?

That should work so I guess you are simply not doing something wrong with respect to DnD. What exactly do you mean when you say you are dragging a window over the drop target? You should be dragging a dockable, not moving a window.

I was dragging the window, just like I would with xmms for instance to "attach" two windows.

Aha... that was the trick. Works like a charm, thanks!
