That does help. Thanks.

Why not just use the SAME layer?
I have a collection of buttons with widely varying text and the same
background, frame, etc. I created the background once in its own layer
and then created as many text layers as needed. To actually create the
button, I select the background layer and the appropriate text layer and
save to a gif (whatever) file as the appropriate button name. The whole
schmeer is saved as a gimp xcf file so I can always go back later and
add more text and create more buttons as needed
In your case, create the background and the roll-over background in
separate layers. Then the text in a third. To create the button, make
only the background and the text active, save to a gif. Then make only
the roll-over background and the text active and save that, too.
If the text needs to be changed for the rollover (e.g., color, etc.),
you could make a copy of the text layer and simply do some color
substitution.
Hope that helps. It works well for me.

I'm using gimp-2.0 to create a few graphical buttons with centered
text. Each button will have a regular image and a rollover image. I
need to position the text layer in precisely the same spot on each
pair of images, so the text doesn't move when it switches from the
normal image to the rollover image on the site I'm building. How can
I position a layer to the pixel?
