It is the logo showing that your program is open, unless you have it 'pinned' to your taskbar. Your photo will not open until you click on 'open' in gimp. If you had it wouldn't still be showing (It should have disappeared) Maybe you didn't click on open hard enough.
Oh and welcome to Gimp Chat.
After reading your response, above, I checked the process again. What is actually happening is that the image is opening in darktable, when I open an image in GIMP, as it should. However, the image is opening behind the GIMP window, so I cannot see it and I cannot get to the "close" button (the "x") on the image so I can close it and have it open in GIMP. How do I get the image to open in darktable on top of the GIMP window, as it should?
Edit: I tried using RawTherapee instead of darktable as my raw image plugin with GIMP. Using RawTherapee makes the images open as they should - they open in a window within the GIMP program window, making it easy to close the RawTherapee window so the image re-opens automatically in GIMP for editing. Unfortunately, the images in RawTherapee look very overexposed when they appear in GIMP. I would need to try to modify that, and then maybe I could use RawTherapee instead of darktable as my raw image plugin for GIMP.
