Not really, unless you're still using Gimp with GTK 1.2. Tear off menus are these: http://www.denemo.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/display3.png Which are perfectly replaceable by a floating GtkWindow and a bunch of controls — including a list of buttons that pop up menus, if you want, for some reason, to retain the design instead of improving the user interaction model. The ability to literally tear off menu items from a menu bar and use them as floating toolboxes is not something GTK developers are willing to maintain any more, given the small user base compared to the complexity they introduce. Also, as a user interaction method, tear off menus are usually an indicator of major design issues in the UI itself. > (That makes me wonder: what GTK version is Gimp using?) Gimp is currently using GTK 2.x, given that the Gimp maintainers wanted to finish the transition to the GEGL architecture underneath, before refactoring the UI part; a GTK 3 port is actively being worked on — and there's continuous feedback between Gimp developers and GTK developers to ensure that the new features landing in GTK can be used to simplify or improve the Gimp code base.
