I had to use GIMP for the first time on Ubuntu 13.10 a few days ago and its window looks pretty weird. It occupies a full workspace and a third of the workspace below:

But it can not be maximised (note the missing button) neither can it be resized. How can I adjust the GIMP window so that it occupies only one workspace? Thanks.



Update: the output of sudo aptitude show gimp:

Description: The GNU Image Manipulation Program
GIMP is an advanced picture editor. You can use it to edit, enhance, and retouch photos and scans, create drawings, and
make your own images. It has a large collection of professional-level editing tools and filters, similar to the ones you
might find in Photoshop. Numerous fine-control settings and features like layers, paths, masks, and scripting give you
total control over your images.

Many image file formats are supported, including JPEG, Photoshop (.psd), and Paint Shop Pro (.psp) files. It can also be
used to scan and print photos.

To open files remotely (like over HTTP), install the gvfs-backends package.

To use a MIDI device (like a musical keyboard) as an input controller in GIMP, install libasound2 and read the how-to at
/usr/share/doc/gimp/README.MIDI

I suggest you to try to reinstall GIMP using the following commands in terminal:




  1. Uninstall GIMP:



    sudo apt-get purge gimp*

  2. Delete ~/.gimp-2.8 directory (you can make a backup first) which may contain others GIMP configuration files .


  3. Install GIMP again:



    sudo apt-get install gimp



Those images from your question don't look as GIMP should, after a clean installation.
