You said you found the answer then your last statement seems to indicate you 
haven't.

Apart from the previous suggestions on how to find the image ID I had 
another thought. If you are writing a script where you want to right click 
an image and run your script from the menu that will pop up you can set up 
your script so the image ID and drawable ID are automatically passed to your 
script.

In the script-fu-register block where you have the list of SF-* parameters, 
you add two lines right before any other SF-* parameters:
  SF-IMAGE       "Image"    0
  SF-DRAWABLE    "Drawable" 0

In the define for your script you would add "image" and "drawable" as the 
first two parameters expected by your script. You can use any variable names 
you want in place of "image" and "drawable".

If your define was
  (define (my-script-fu-script param1 param2)
you would change it to
 (define (my-script-fu-script image drawable param1 param2)

The variable name "image" will automatically be set to the ID of the image 
that you right clicked.
