I've just noticed that, when you paste into GIMP any shape copied from Inkscape, such object is appended as new path rather than as new layer, and there seems to be no other possibility. However, once you exported an Inkscape object as a PNG file, a faster way to import this into a GIMP image is to select the special command ' File -> Open as Layers ' , through which you will be able to insert the PNG file as new layer along with its handy transparent background. Otherwise, you might try to use an intermediate application between Inkscape and GIMP, like Paint for Windows, that may recognize and paste any Inkscape clipboard as a raster object, that you will afterward copy and paste into GIMP as real layer; unfortunately, this way the transparent background could be lost.
