I'm trying to use the Clone Tool and keep getting the not active status icon - i.e. the circle with a slash through it image next to the tool pointer and nothing happens on the image when I click on it. Tried various images, tried shutting down and re-opening Gimp. I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking. 

Any suggestions? 

Thanks.

Did you first hit Ctrl and then click on what you want to clone and then start cloning?

What do you have your source set to?

That did the trick - thanks!
