Just what use cases are there for a single window?
- Gimp utility windows don't show up in the task bar (on Windows and GNOME at least).
- Gimp utility windows are on top of the image windows, but don't obscure the image because:
- Your image is not constrained to the image window, you can scroll beyond the borders.
- When you select an image from the task bar, all utility windows will show up too.
But utility windows have at least two advantages:
- Implicit multi-monitor support.
- Multitasking is more like Mac OS X: your panels stay in the same place, but work on the current image. It's document-centric.
So, why would you want a single window?

I agree mirv. The multi window mode is useful when i'm multitasking.

I'd rather the choice between single window mode, and multi-window mode. I do have a reason for multi-window sometimes, so don't get rid of it, just also allow single window.

Single-window mode maybe?
