Re: Organising the xwt namespace

Okay, I'll elaborate.  This was how I understood it to work (and indeed how
I described it in the email proposing the layout inc common):

widget.button preapplies; specifically clickable, focusable, and
theme.button

theme.button holds common button behaviour; in this case enter to activate,
and would preapply lib.button if it existed

lib.button (which actually doesn't exist because all lib behaviour is
clickable / focusable)

monopoly.button is a typical button, so it would preapply widgets.button and
take all the behaviour with it.

monopoly.tableheader (fictional example) wants to look like a button, but
doesn't want to be focusable, so it preapply theme.button and
theme.clickable.

fictionaltheme.button wants only basic button code and a different focus
model so, in reality, preapplies lib.common.clickable and
fictionaltheme.focusable.

Um, that's not what we've been discussing (I think).

xwt.widget.button - preapplies - xwt.theme.button
xwt.theme.button - does nothing but hold documentation
org.xwt.theme.monopoly.button - may preapply - xwt.lib.button

org.xwt.theme.monopoly - overlays - xwt.theme

Now due to the overlay, when you make a call to xwt.widget.button, what 
actually happens is:

xwt.wiget.button - preapplies - org.xwt.theme.monopoly.button
org.xwt.theme.monopoly.button - preapplies - xwt.lib.button

The xwt.theme.button is being cancelled out. That's the argument for 
putting a theme in it. It's not actually doing anything at the moment.
