Are you aware of the fact, that Photoshop on the Mac does not have such a "main window"?
Hmmm... *me looks at some Mac/PS screen shots* Interesting.
I never noticed that. But doesn't it still behave as one instance of the program when flipping between programs (i.e., essentially like the Windows version)?
On Linux, I have no problem using a desktop solely for the Gimp, but on Windows (at work) I end up using a multi-desktop switcher to keep windows from getting out of hand (in numbers). Unfortunately, all the multi-desktop switcher programs I've tried (VirtuaWin, MegaScale MultiDesktop Manager, & MS Virtual Desktop Manager) are a tad buggy and/or don't implement as well as the Unix model of multiple desktops.
