Quick question about The GIMP: Is it possible yet to have a "single window" for the program, where all the sub-panels/windows are not all "floating on the desktop"?

When I'm doing texture tweeking, I have a few programs open. For example, I might have XSI, Painter 9.5, Winamp, UlimateUnwrap3d, and the A6 engine trio (WED, MED and SED). Yes, a lot of programs, I know. But my computer handles it all quite nicely. Anyway, with The GIMP, when I open it I get a LOT of 'windows' open...each one had their own, uh, hmm...you know, 'rectangle' at the bottom of the screen in the "Taskbar" area. That's a LOT of things on that bottom taskbar. Also, if I click on one of the GIMP window/taskbars, only it opens...all the rest of the GIMP windows/taskbars don't...so I have to indivicually click them. If I take a quick look at something in one of the other programs, when I want to go back to the GIMP I once again have to click on every single one. Heaven forfend if I accidentally click some 'background' program when working in GIMP...I have to then re-click all the GIMP windows/taskbars again.

So, did this get fixed in GIMP now? Is it more like a 'normal' program in that it has it's own 'screen-workspace'? Or is it still a collection of 'mini-windows'?
