Gimp's Standard Tools
When Gimp is first installed, it comes with several very useful tool windows activated:

Tool options

Layers, Channels, Paths, Undo History

Foreground/ Background Color, Brush, Pattern, Gradient
Most of these tools are used in our sixth, seven, and eighth grade Gimp projects. It is frustrating to the students when a window disappears. Today I took the time to look at Preferences.
Gimp Versions
Depending on the age of the machine, I happen to have a few versions of Gimp running. In Gimp version 2.4.6, I found the option under File - Preferences. In version 2.6, preferences is on the Edit menu.

I plan on spending more time looking through the preference settings, but the one I required to fix my disappearing tool windows is located in Window Management.

I'm really looking forward to starting Gimp with the sixth grade! All the headaches of disappearing and rearranged tool windows from previous years are behind me.
