Thanks Rich, That's really helpful.
I've now made two similar setups one for single-window mode and one for multi and saved their sessionrc files. Then I can copy one of them back to the config directory before stating gimp if I want to swap setups. That said, starting in single-window mode and then switching to multi gives pretty much the same setup and I've turned off the 'Save window positions on exit.' preference. So at least I can use single-window mode and swerve the multi-window bugs when not wanting two images side by side.
Single setup:
Which version has that bug? I'm still on 3.0.4 (due the the aarch64 AppImage issue but there may be some movement on that soon). I can dock things alongside tool options so probably have misunderstood what you meant but I gave it a go anyway:
Thanks Tas_mania that's an interesting idea but I don't know how to do it. I have a couple of AppImages as well as the normally installed gimp. If I run any one from the terminal when another is open it doesn't open a second.

I notice using AppImages every new appimage takes-over the last one. That includes completely different versions of Gimp.
