Well, with The GIMP you have the tools window (not a palette because
it has its own menus), then an image window per file each with its own
menus, then anywhere between 0 and 20 floating palettes, and none of
those is visually associated with any of the others nor with some
common element (root window, common workspace etc.) It's... strange.

Maybe my wording was not entirely correct from a GUI point of view but
I hope I made it clear now.
