I have a bit of sympathy. I often make a short video capture to demonstrate something about Gimp and use a defined 1280x720 window.
kubuntu 24.04: KDE has very good window controls to lock size and position but Gimp 3.0.4 manages to circumvent the settings.
I find that opening a second image does resize the Gimp window, very annoying. I use a one- line bash script to restore sizes using wmctrl https://linuxcommandlibrary.com/man/wmctrl Of course this is for X11 rather than Wayland.
This the video
