Are you using single window mode? This is recommended.
Windows > Single Window Mode

For the layers dialogue:
Windows > Dockable Dialogues > Layers

Yes, thanks for that.  Got single windows mode and got the layers dialogue up, all going well.

Followed the excellent video and just at the final moments began to get lost.  Something went wrong with the merging of layers and duplicating.

I probably mismerged or something.  When I duplicate and move only one of the copied things moves when I do it one way.  when I try another method everything moves and leaves a dark void behind....

still experimenting...
