"the my head/face" indicates that you felt it was too egoistic and changed
the phrasing. *wink*
o Open the face in one window
o Open the background in another window
o Hover with the mouse over the face, right-click (right-handed mouse
assumed)
o Layers -> Layers, Channels and Paths (GIMP 1.2.x)
o Reduce the opacity value as much as you desire
o copy the face image (CTRL+C)
o Paste the selection in the background image (CTRL+V)

Hope it helps,
