Thank you. I've realised that not being able to turn text layers into non-text ones wasn't actually the cause of my problem. It was actually a gimp_layer_new() call I used.

Some functions have "range" parameters which run from 0 to 255. Others have parameters which run from 0 to 1. The "opacity" parameter runs from 0 to 100. At least I know now.

Thank you for your suggestion, though.
