Regarding people's replies of "how does GIMP know which image you want to 
save ?", ask the same question to gedit or any other 
multiple-document-interface gtk/gnome app. Logically, it saves the one 
you're looking at.

So, hitting CRTL+S works... but how does GIMP know which image to save now 
?? Does using a keyboard shortcut invoke some different logic inside of 
GIMP that gives it the ability to suddenly know which image you want saved 
?? Let's be consistent.
