Sorry, but that's not true!  If you double-click on the text-icon, you
will get text options.  Choose the Dynamic Text option.  Now your text
will appear in its own layer.  Anytime you click on that layer with the
font tool, you will be able edit your text (just like with a word
processor).  Of course, this is only available in CVS versions of GIMP.

Sorry, partially wrong, I should have posted before:
Use GDynText plugin. Gimp 1.1 uses it for normal text if you want.
With that plugin it saves font, color, and other info. You can not apply
effects over the text and keep them, but that is better than nothing. I hope
someday it will keep a list of effects too.

There is no easy way to edit text you already have written. However, if you just 
want's to know with font you have used, rename the layer to the fontname/size. This 
will save you a lot's of time!

Font types, sizes

Just a curiosity, it is possible if you have saved an image as an xcf so
that you can modify the layers again, that you can find out what font
type and size was used in the image In a somewhat easy fashion?
