Same here. I also ask fluxbox to remember the window position.

In addition I have the following in my ~/.fluxbox/keys file:

Mod4 g :ExecCommand if wmctrl -l | grep "GIMP"; then wmctrl -a "GIMP";
else gimp; fi

Thus, no matter which desktop is active, when I hit Mod4-g fluxbox
will take me to my "gimp desktop" and bring GIMP to the foreground.
