I have tried both ticking and unticking "Keep transparency" in the layers dialog, as well as trying to paint both selected and unselected areas. Nothing works.
What do you mean? Do you want to paint ON a transparent layer? Or do you want to "paint" transparency onto an opaque layer? Or do you want to paint transparent (i.e. translucent) color onto a transparent layer? Or what?

Meddle not in the affairs of dragons,
For you are crunchy, and good with mustard.
I want to paint ON a transparent layer. So, I add a transparent layer to an image, make sure the new layer is active and visible, select a colour and bucket fill, then apply the bucket fill. Nothing happens.
This is running Gimp in Windows 2000. I have since installed the program in Windows XP, where I have no such problems. I can only assume that there is a problem with my Windows 2000 installation.
I've just gone back to The Gimp in Windows 2000 after using it in XP, and now everything is working fine. I don't know whether the program is being erratic or if it is something I was doing. (I'm a Gimp newbie).
If it happens again I'll give your suggestion a try, TrojanWarBlade. Thanks to you and TSDragon for your replies.
