There is a bug with cage transform. It was reported several months ago, but unfortunately has not yet been fixed.
(A useful tool when working.)
david.
That is a linux problem, AFAIK cage-transform works in Windows.
In linux it is one of the libraries that is the problem but fixed in linux Gimp 2.9.5 dev It is one of my least favourite tools.
Easy enough to apply, click round the canvas to create nodes, when you get back to the 1st node the tool maps the image and you can drag the nodes to deform the image. You will need to cut out any background that remains.
In Gimp 2.9.5 there is a new tool, n-point deformation. Makes a grid, then click and pull to deform.
If the object of the exercise is deform an image to a predefined shape, say a diamond, there might be a plugin but not one I know.
