OK, one more question (sorry for not being completely awake yet).

Now I'm wondering why this patch is even needed.  Shouldn't all
objects inherit all appropriate properties from their parents?  If so,
then the axis_label function seems liek the wrong place to do this,
and it seems bad that we would have to enumerate the properties that
are inherited instead of just having this happen automatically at some
lower level, when the text object is created.
