May I suggest that it could be added to the 2.2 final Changelog ? Most
of the users are not subscribed to the list, and I suspect that the
tearoff menus preference is quite user-specific (I mean I do think many
users have it on, and also many have it off). By the way, this
preference was not "migrated" from my 2.0 profile when I first launched
gimp 2.2, although I chose to migrate those setting in the "first use
wizard" (I don't know its real name).
