simple suggestion for the UI

[Bernhard Stockmann]

hello developers,

I tried the svn trunk some days ago and I wanted to suggest that if
someone double clicks the main window (the one that is displayed if no
other image is opened) the "new image" dialog should open.

thanks for your work on GIMP,

best regards,
bernhard stockmann

How would you propose for this functionality be discovered by the user?

  A message in the status bar would do it.

Hi

Thanks for the suggestion!

That window is planned to be filled with an on-demand tip system in 2.8.
It is not yet clear exactly how that will look or work, but since a
double-click might not be as natural then as it is now, we should wait
with doing that change until the fate of the no-image-window is clearer.

Doing it for 2.6 risks a regression if we need to remove it in 2.8 again.

Best regards,
Martin Nordholts
