I'm trying to get GIMP to display as a single window in XMonad. Currently, it's floating strangely in front of every other display and I can't use it.

I have tried reading this:

http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/General_xmonad.hs_config_tips#Gimp

But it seems this is for versions of GIMP before 2.8 when there wasn't the option to have GIMP use only 1 window. Because of this, it's an XMonad problem, not a GIMP one.

How can I do this?
