Run Gimp in single window mode

PROBLEM:

One problem we face while using Gimp is floating windows.

It may not be a problem if we are using small number of tools. But it may get difficult to work if there are to many windows that are open.

SOLUTION:

Just go to Windows → single window mode.
Select that option and you are good to go!
