How do I place a consistent image over an animation in GIMP?

I've created a fire animation using a tutorial, but I wish to place a stationary image over the top of the animation using GIMP. How do I do this? I've tried playing around with it, but if I place the image on every frame, the animation stops, and if I place it in a seperate layer, it just flashes in at the end of the animation.

Gimp ~image editor,
http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html

so you have flames animated in layers, and you want to place a still object in front of flames, while in motion,

if you merged copy of image on every frame,
http://gimp-tutorials.net/tutorials/split-tone/6.png

then all the frames would still be separate, and filter >animation > playback would still animate all frames with object as still, make sure image is saved as xcf, and save final copy as gif,

if layers already saved as gif, other option is to optimize all, but use copy of file, this takes image and erasing what has changes to next frame

if you have GAP installed you can us main image as bottom background
