to me that means u need to have a selection before u can do whatever it is. eg. if u want to make something green, if u dont select anythign clicking green wont work.

You may have a different level selected that the one you mean to work on, a level where your selection isn't "selecting" anything.

Is this under wine, or in the wrong forum?

That error means you're trying to do something on an empty layer.
