Hello George
Move the mouse between the Gimp menu and the indicators on the panel and
press the middle mouse button (or left/right buttons together).  This cycles
through the windows open on the workspace.

Have a read of the Unity keyboard guide on OMG ubuntu to learn how to get
the most out of it (or Google for Unity keyboard guide).
