All variants suggested so far make use of IM layout. Basic building block is
> gimp = withIM (1%5) (Role "gimp-toolbox") someLayout
with possible addition of reflectHoriz

someLayout can be 
* IM 
> someLayout = IM.withIM (0.20) (Role "gimp-dock") (Mirror tiled ||| Full)
* Column (not yet in darcs). With advice to keep all docks, docked to toolbox.
> someLayout = Column.
* ComboP version. 
> someLayout = combineTwoP (reflectHoriz $ TwoPane 0.25 0.25) 
>    (layoutForDocks) (layoutForImages) (Role "gimp-dock")
* Or something else


I've finally settled on following layout:
> gimp = withIM (1%5) (Role "gimp-toolbox") $
>           combineTwoP (reflectHoriz $ TwoPane 0.25 0.25) 
>                       (simpleTabbed) (defaultLayout) (Role "gimp-dock")

In order to make dialog windows float I added following to manage hooks:
> isDialog --> doFloat
