Animations must be saved in GIF format in Gimp. 
Work with your graphic as RGB, then index it when
you're done so it can be saved as a GIF. You need
to tell Gimp it's an animation by naming each layer
as:

frame 1(500ms), frame 2(1000ms), etc.

This is where you set the length of time that each
frame is displayed during the animation. Experiment
a bit to get the effect you want. 

Hope this helps,

in the layer comment, put the delay in brackets in miliseconds:

frame (1000ms)

ie the frame will last for a second

It says in the gimp manual.  In the layers dialogue, save the layer
name as foo(200ms) and layer foo will display for 200 miliseconds.
Rather simple really.
