Uses one of Ofnuts scripts, interleave-layers which you can find at

To do what you want you have to add the text (on the very same spot) to 
all the layers/frames of the animation. There are scripts and plugins to 
do this, For instance my own interleave-layers script used in "title" mode:

My thanks to everyone who sent possible answers to my question.  I tried to
implement them as I was reading the Gimp User Manual.  I am not a skilled
user.  I am learning as I go.  I had no idea that Python is a way of
writing scripts for Gimp.  I do not know where to find my Gimp profile.  I
am not kidding.  The user manual does not mention it.

I am looking for a way to add a layer to a gif image upon which I can add
text, a layer that is transparent and will not move or flash, like writing
on a window behind which there is action.

I am most appreciative of any help that you can offer.  I am a personal
user, helping my roomie to improve her blog.

My thanks in advance

Paula
