rich2005 - I do not have dual monitors, only one very large one (acer 24" HD display 123ppi at 2560x1440 resolution). Which makes this behavior even more remarkable -- I have a very, very large desktop. Yet GIMP often, on image open, is "drawn" off the left edge of this very large desktop. With the image linked to below, I have to grab the right edge of the GIMP window and drag it leftwards enough so that I can use the titlebar to move the window to the right so I can see and use the left tool docks. This is the image that's in the second screencap of my original post.

Alas, your suggestion does not change this behavior. You've been doing this a long time. Does this behavior not happen for you with 2.10.x? When I used 2.8.x any image I opened was zoomed to "fit" the available window. From the View menu is an option to do this same thing View > Zoom > Fit Image in Window. My recollection is this was the default GIMP behavior in 2.8.x. It is not the default now.
