Having done that, right click on the layer in the layers dialogue and do "Alpha to Selection". Then "Select > To Path" and finally "Select > None". You now have the text as a path.
Then use the Ofnuts Bend Path plug-in. Details here:

Not sure of your experience level. Ask here again if having difficulties.
Done with the shear tool part. Having problems on the second part. I'm still a beginner even though I've been using GIMP for about 8 years. Also, having trouble trying to install the Ofnuts Bend Path plug-in.
