I am running Ubuntu Linux 10.04. On my older linux pc GIMP included a menu option I think to access Layers, might have been Dialog --> Layers, I don't remember. This version of GIMP has Layer --> New Layer, but it's not immediately obvious in looking through all the menubar options where to get to a Layers dialog where I can move layers, rename them, etc. Advice please?

Bob,

YOu don't mention what version of GIMP you are running, but in 2.6.10, to access the layers menu I think you are looking for, try looking under

Windows > Dockable dialogs > layers.

My installation also included a default group of dialogs, under a menu heading

"Layers, paths, channels, undo".

Right click on the layer.
The top of the dropdown menu has Layer Attributes. Click that and you can change the name. Gerard.
