I've noticed that too. It's quite irritating, and seems to be a
gimp bug. It seems to wait around for its splash screen to be
mapped before it begins initialization, which is clearly absurd.
At any rate, yes, it's possible, with something like this:

focustags = (gimp)
fn Event-CreateTag {
        echo $wmiinormcol $* | wmiir create /lbar/$"*
        if (~ $"* $focustags)
                wmiir xwrite /ctl view $*
}
