Goodness, I have poor memory. I went to see about this, looked at my
gschem - then found I had ALREADY DONE THIS back in January!

commit 1c531ec953bb3a7fe895eafc65c3d4f85c2603c6

    gschem: Delete "Edit"->"Make Inv Text Vis" menu item
    
    This menu item trips up more people than it helps. Remove
    it and associated code. (By popular request on geda-user.)


So it will be lovely and fixed in the latest revision.

You guys need to try "git HEAD" more often ;)

Its an often requested feature. Please file a feature request at
http://launchpad.net/geda/+filebug

However - it could well be a (long) while before anyone gets to it, as
there isn't much focus on gschem UI at the moment. (More core scheme
changes in libgeda are taking preference).

If you wanted to code this up though - I'm confident you would find
people willing to help you find the appropriate code.
