I don't think so, text objects work OK now and the text shows up.
When I hit F2 or Enter in a object I get the I-beam but the cursor
doesn't move when I type.

I'm beginning to thing that I simply haven't yet selected an object
which allows text entry.  If someone could point me at an object that
definitely does have text entry then I could try it.
