I'v been eagerly awaiting this, since my major annoyances all have to do with the floating dialogs:

Not hiding the palettes when the last gimp window was minimized. Minimize -> d'oh! -> unminimize -> secret key shortcut[1] -> minimize again. Older versions used to hide them with any image window being minimized, so it was minimize#1 -> sigh -> minimize#2 -> unminimize#2 back then.

Placing the toolboxes at x,0 by default so they were underneath the taskbar/menubar. I keep my taskbar on top on Windows, and I'm glad I know about Alt+Space there.

Not having the image window's keyboard shortcuts work when a tool window is focused, for which I know no workaround.

Having the tool windows appear in the Alt+Tab list.

Actually, I can think of one more that was remedied with 2.0: the menu used to be hidden. You could right-click the image or hit the ">" button at the corner of the rulers, but it took me a long time to figure out how to save my first image.

[1] TAB. I think its action is finally available in the menus, and the shortcut displayed with it, in 2.7.x.
