No, that's not what I'm suggesting.

org.xwt.theme.mytheme.button preapplies xwt.lib.button
xwt.overlay('xwt.theme', 'org.xwt.theme.mytheme');

However, you could have an implementation in xwt.theme.button. This 
way, if there was no org.xwt.theme.mytheme.button, you would still have 
a button implementation.

This would be useful with the focusable situation.

Basically, xwt.theme provides a basic version, and if mytheme wants to 
override it, it has to start with the theme-independent code in 
xwt.lib. Which I think does what you want it to do.
