OK, I think I have solved my problem. You have to know what to search for
in the pdb. I think this will do what I need:
pdb.gimp_layer_set_offsets
There is nothing in the pdb browser for moving a layer, you have to offset
it.

OK, so following Alexia's suggestion, I am going to plan on selecting ahead
of time the rectangle I want my text to paste into. The upper left corner
of this selection will then be the upper left corner that I want to paste my
png to. How do I do that? I thought about creating a layer the same size
as the selection rectangle and pasting to (0,0) on that layer. I see in the
pdb how to create a layer with a certain width and height, but I don't see
how to specify the offset. And I don't see how to paste to a specific set
of coordinates. Can this be done? If I use pdb.gimp_edit_paste_as_new, can
I get the coordinates of the pasted selection and then move the floating
selection before anchoring? What is the right approach?
Thanks,
Ryan

I would like my Latex enabled approach to act like the regular text
tool. The main thing I don't know how to do is allow the user (me) to click
on a spot on the current image and pass those coordinates to PyGimp so that
I can use that as the top left corner of my png. Does my question make
sense? Is there an easy way to allow the user to click on a spot on the
image and get the coordinates from PyGimp?
In various scripts when I have needed to indicate a location on a canvas
Ive used selections. Id say using an upper left corner of a selection you
draw first is as good as its going to get...
