I did not know that the window around an image in Gimp disappears if one 
leaves it with the mouse-cursor, as the handles do -- I guess that handles 
and whatever sourrounds an image in gimp are not the same then, as stated 
before.

Not at all, if you put the screwdriver back into the toolbox, i.e. release it 
from your hand as you do with the mouse-button and then take it out again for 
another rotation, its rotation has no relation the the rotation of the screw 
or how it was placed before putting it back into the toolbox -- as the 
handles.
