How the heck do I get rid of it?

What did I do (so I do NOT do it again)

Thanks, folks!
PS
Any other gotchyas I need to know,

What the mouse is telling you is that the selection for move type doesn't exist or isn't on that layer. You have Path selected as the move option, so the question is, what do you want moved? Layer, image, selection, or path?

Object/layer (or get rid of icon)
Thanks for a quick answer-in-progress!

Hi confusedPeng. It seems that you have the "Move Path" option selected. Go to the Move tool option and select the first option "Layer".

Ahhhhh... thank you....Icon cleared(!) Now I can let the excedrin kick in & NOT move to Pinta.

If anyone wants to monetize their GIMP expertise, a series of Gimp Gotchyas on youtube (w verbose problems in titles) would make bank (dry chuckle)

Anyone know a keycode to break GIMP out of (not responding) for Mac or Linux?
LMAO- Of course I made a few changes
(copied a layer, went to resize it
& it's locked on wanting to change to 1x1 pixel,
though I was going to enlarge
)
& Gimp locked up (& STILL is, as I walk back from lunch minibreak).

I was certain of no autosave,
but I see options for later (wry grin)
google com/search?q=gimp+autosave
