That's just it, though. I thought so, too, but the xcf file I saved only kept the text layers intact. Everything else that was done has been lumped together into a "background" layer, and thus I cannot seem to access the other layers to delete. I have, after many headaches already, adopted a similar workflow. :) Though it is rather annoying in my creative process, I hope it will help, too.
