I solved the missing text problem. I had 2 different installs of Pango on my system.  I removed the older one and sure enough xfce4 works just like that.

To be honest, one user had already reported this solution on the xfce forum.  I guess I was stuck on the fact that some of my other GTK2 apps worked.  But when I dug in and investigated further I found that the working GTK2 apps were loading in the newer Pango libs, so no wonder they worked.  (I had an older version of Pango in /usr/local/libs and the correct one in /usr/libs so it wasn't just a version conflict but a duplication problem on top of it.)
