Have you considered using another WM under KDE? The KWin WM usually used
with KDE is AFAIK not very configureable. FVWM, as an example, would
allow you to use sloppy focus with The Gimp (turning any blank desktop
page into a root window) and to thumbnail all of The Gimps windowss onto
the root window for easy selection. FVWM alt-tab list can be configured
to show names as well as icons for each of The Gimp's transients, so the
alt-tab annoyance would disappear as well.

FVWM configuration would be simple, as KDE already provides all needed
menus and panels.
