 I'm running Gimp 2.0.4 on Linux and I've got an image with some
 colored text loaded and I want to create a new image with different
 text with the same color.  So, here is what I do:
 
 1. Load the image with the colored text
 2. Use the color chooser tool to choose the color of the text
 3. Create a new image with black background
 4. Choose the text tool
 
 At this point, the color I chose using the color chooser tool has
 changed to black.

That's a known bug, the color shouldn't change at all. It's fixed in
the 2.1 series but the fix hasn't been backported to 2.0 yet.

 5. I repeat step #2 above
 6. I repeat step #4 above
 
 Now, I'm stuck in a manual loop.  :)   So, I figured once I choose the 
 color of the text using the color chooser, I can double click the box 
 with the current foreground color to open the Change Foreground Color 
 box and leave it open.  Then I choose the text tool and drag the color 
 from the Change Foreground Color dialog to the color box in the text 
 tool and now I can create the new text with the desired color.
 
 Is there an easier way of doing this?
 
double click on the color block at the bottom of the toolbox.  you can
put the color into a memory there while you work the rest of it out :)
