Multiple command line args always use single window mode (2.10)?

It appears that even if I uncheck single window mode, when I run

gimp *.tif

it always opens in single window mode. Hopefully there's just a setting I missed?

It's worse; it appears that whenever I start GIMP *period*, it's in single window mode.

I don't like single window mode. I just don't. That's my final answer. It just doesn't fit my working style, which is to have lots of windows open all over the place. And I don't want tiled, either. Again, personal preference.

But I cannot find a way to turn it off permanently. I can uncheck Windows->Single Window Mode, but the next time I start it, it's back to single window mode. I haven't found an option to disable it by default either; hopefully I've just missed it?

fwiw: I don't either. I just opened gimp. it opened into single window mode. I unchecked "single window mode", closed and reopened and got multiple window mode.

If so, it's not apparent where. This is my ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/gimprc (and that's where other GIMP config files live, such as printrc, which I'm certain is the one being used here).

That did it.

I'm guessing (too late in the evening for me to investigate) that what happened is that I don't enable save window positions on exit, and single/multiple window mode is treated as "window position", so that setting never got saved.

(I start my window manager from a fixed session too. However, there are some exceptions; I build up so much state in my browser and emacs that I really do need session saving, and I wish the xterm/bash combination could do the same thing. But I tend to use GIMP as a one-off, so preserving state isn't very useful to me.)
