Select one of the images, do Edit -> Copy (or Ctrl-C).
Select the other image, do Edit -> Paste (or Ctrl-V).
The pasted image appears in the layers dialog as 'Floating selection'. 
To create a real layer, in the layers dialog click on the 'New layer' 
button.

I suppose that last step is what you missed.

HTH,
