How about the following change:

diff --git a/src/graphics.h.in b/src/graphics.h.in
--- a/src/graphics.h.in
+++ b/src/graphics.h.in
@@ -3737,6 +3737,7 @@
   text (const graphics_handle& mh, const graphics_handle& p)
     : base_graphics_object (), xproperties (mh, p)
   {
+    xproperties.set_clipping ("off");
     xproperties.override_defaults (*this);
   }
 
This will make the default value of the clipping property for text
objects "off", will still allow

  set (0, 'defaulttextclipping', 'on')

to set the default to 'on', but will not add anything to the structure
displayed by

  get (0, 'default')

as would happen if we found a place to insert

  set (0, 'defaulttextclipping', 'off')

prior to executing the startup files.

jwe

Sounds exactly right to me :-)
