This might be a little handy thing for you, depending on how you're trying to set up the sheet.

You may need to check your gimp install and do some extra things installed to use python-fu in gimp if you don't already have it set up:
http://www.pygtk.org/downloads.html
So long as the canvas you are working with is the size of the largest frame, you can arrange your images to properly animate frame by frame (going layer by layer) and then tell the script to arrange the layers into a new image with all of the frames laid out evenly spaced.
Couple things to worry about though:
I forget if it orders the layers top to bottom or bottom to top (there's another sprite strip script for script-fu that only arranges in a straight line and goes in the opposite layer order).
Also: you don't 'technically' have to shrink the canvas size down as it uses the size of the layers to organize the sprites. I suggest the canvas resize so that you can easily go through each layer and resize it to the size of the canvas for proper dimensions (i really need to see if there's a script for that too).
