Those are all programmed objects, not shapes, so no wonder you can't
find the .shape files.  Checking in objects/custom/shape_info.c, I see
that the "text" element exists, with x and y positions and the contents
of the element as the text. However, a quick test shows that it doesn't
work at the moment.
