I suggest to read my tutorial on that topic here:
http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/gimp/guadec2002/gimp-plugin/html/
especially chapter 5 will be of interest to you. The tutorial is a bit
older so it might need slight adjustments in some parts (especially it
does not yet mention the PixelFetcher stuff) but in general it is still
worth a read.
There are lots of plugins available as source code in the gimp source,
reading the simpler plugins can be quite enlightening.
Please look at these ressources, if they don't help you I'll be happy to
answer further questions.
Bye,
Simon
