Although the new code works, it's still much slower than what I suggested.  the  
added overhead of having the window server create a new window, create a new  
text object, and then destroy them is quite significant.  You're much better  
off simply having an extra Text object on your existing window and moving it  
off to 1e30 where nobody can see it.
