What I meant here is that the only circumstances in which the 'affect selection' option of the Move tool is greyed out is when there is no image open, and that there is exactly one instance of it, not two.
Oh, wait.. I see what saulgoode meant now. I think that it could be improved (the second radio option could be N/A and selecting 'affect selection' would force the radio selection to the first option (and set the radio group insensitive, as before))

In Current CVS, you have to press alt+shift or alt+control to actually
move the pixels with a selection tool. Nobody does that accidentially,
and it's a powerful tool for power users. I see no reason to remove it.

Well, should we simply hide these options when they make no sense?
It's IMHO better to change the text to something that's actually
happening and make them insensitive. That's the whole reasoning
behind that.
What I meant here is that the only circumstances in which the 'affect selection' option of the Move tool is greyed out is when there is no image open, and that there is exactly one instance of it, not two.
