HOWTO: Run GIMP in its own window.

[neko18]

First make sure you have all the needed stuff:

sudo apt-get install xnest metacity gimp

Now run this command to test it:

Xnest :1 -ac -name GIMP -geometry 1024x690 & metacity --display :1 & gimp --display :1

You may like to change the "1024x690" to something that better fits your screen.

If it works, you may edit your GIMP menu shortcuts to reflect that command.
