I suspect nobody understands the question. All a bit of a guess from your
description.

1. The only default filters in Filters -> Generic are Convolution Matrix, Dilate
and Erode. Anything else you install yourself.

2. Filters -> Map -> Displace uses maximum 3 layers/images. The displacement
maps can be layers or another image. You need to open those in the dialogue
yourself. You can have the same map for both X and Y

3. If you had a displace filter in Filters -> Generic, It was possibly the old
MathMap plugin.
