How does that encourage that if xwt.standard is a simple theme that the engine 
themes to the native GUI theme whenever that gets done?

i.e. you don't include xwt.theme, you include xwt.standard.  No need for an 
xwt.theme() call then.

I dunno...  as I said you include xwt.standard and whenever you get around to 
making the engine automatically theme to the native theme, it just happens.  
no necessary xwt.theme() call on the call of the app designer.
