 * Q: How do you paint with transparency?
 * A: Use the "eraser" tool - between the paintbrush and airbrush tools.
 * Q: How do you dock the dockable dialogs (aka toolboxes)?
 * A: Supposedly you can drop toolboxes onto a horizontal bar in the main toolbar, but this doesn't seem to work in some versions of Gimp (the bar may display a popup claiming you can do this, but it doesn't work). Alternatively, you can click on the left-pointing triangle-in-a-box on the right hand side of the main toolbar, which opens a menu that allows (among other things) adding any toolbox to the main toolbar as a tab.
