 The closet I've found is a kind of paste where you do this: drag the 
tab of the origin image over to the tab of the target image. The result 
is a new layer in the target image called "dropped buffer". However, the
 entire origin image is imported flattened.

Hmm, you're right - the closest I can find is to click and drag the layer group 
into the GIMP toolbox (which creates a new image using the layer group), but 
there does not seem to be a way to do the same with a pre-existing image (SWM 
or otherwise), at least not via click and drag.

[Gimp-user] copying and pasting layer groups as layer groups

[bobdobbs]

I'd like to be to select a layer groups and copy them over to another 
pre-existing image.

I've been struggling with this for an hour or so, and I haven't found a way to 
do this.

Is is possible to do this in GIMP?

The closet I've found is a kind of paste where you do this: drag the tab of the 
origin image over to the tab of the target image. The result is a new layer in 
the target image called "dropped buffer". However, the entire origin image is 
imported flattened.

I've been trying other drag and drop operations, but without success. Usually 
when I drop the selection to the target image, the icon under the mouse 
dissapears, and nothing actually happens.

I thought this might be a window manager problem. But I get the same results 
across kde, gnome and xfce.
