GIMPBox Single Window GIMP in Ubuntu 11.04 / Linux Mint 11

Quick how to for setting up GIMPBox to enable you to work in GIMP in a single window instead of having it chew up your bar.

Works with GIMP 2.6 on 11.04 (Mint 11), not sure about other versions or older releases of Linux.

It needs to be said, gimpbox doesn't support keyboard shortcuts. Actually, you'll pretty much lose all keyboard input on the GIMP window. I think they're working on fixing this... no idea. It doesn't really bother me as I'm on a tablet PC and when I go into GIMP for anything, I rotate the screen around and use it in tablet mode... where I don't have access to my keyboard anyways. So, heads up.

Link to where I found the original how to:
http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/gimpbox-get-single-window-mode-in.html

sudo apt-get install python-wnck
sudo wget http://gimpbox.googlecode.com/hg/gimpbox.py -O /usr/local/bin/gimpbox
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gimpbox

Change launcher from "gimp-2.6 %U" to "gimpbox %U"
