Multi-line text in graphs (or other pinboard layouts).

I'd like to be able to produce trees/graphs where items have more than
one line of text in them.  If I try the obvious
print-function-which-produces-newlines thing, this doesn't work - I
just get black blobs where the newlines should be.  I guess I need to
use some item class which can hack newlines, or otherwise supports
multi-line text.  Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

Maybe not the answer you wanted, but I ended up using 
drawn-pinboard-objects in order to have full control and flexibility
when drawing multi-line text.
