Wow, that's just strange, Patrick, because what you said worked.  I recreated an
original template of a wedding invite and made sure I recreated all the text
from scratch. I saved it as an ordinary native .xcf file. I closed it and I
closed GIMP. I reopened GIMP and reopened the file and voila there are editable
text boxes! Happy Days!!!!

So the process of creating a jpg file compresses the original even though you
are not saving your original as a jpg file! I thought that was what saving it as
a jpg file was for! Not changing the original! Well I've learnt my lesson and a
big thanks to Ofnuts and Patrick for their help!
