How do i move more than one layer at a time in gimp?

I created a gif animation of a moving flag, i saved the file then imported it into the picture of the flag pole. but the when i import the gif it drops all the layers in the middle of the picture. i want to move all of them at the same time so i don't have to take a million years aligning them. i've tried using shift and clicking them individually, it doesn't work.





on a side note, I'm using a mac, i don't know if that makes a difference.How do i move more than one layer at a time in gimp?
In the Layers dialog (if you don't have it open already, go to Windows%26gt;Dockable Dialogs%26gt;Layers), lock each layer that you want to move as a group (click the box between the eye icon and the layer icon to make a chain-link icon appear). Then use your move tool to move one of the locked layers and all the rest will move along with it.
