I was just chatting with David about 'edit' on the list.  He wanted to
rename it to 'text', which is fine - it *is* text afterall.

The problem is that people will want to be using different types of 'text':
label - uneditable by default, just plain text with no bg
singleline - wrapped in a bevel, single line text
multiline - wrapped in a bevel, multiline text
richtext - editable richtext

There's probably more, but many of them are just minor modifications /
applications of (the newly named) text.

So, using the new layout, we could have:

xwt.widget.text.label/singleline/multiline/richtext which use/preapply stuff
from xwt.theme (so the theme bevel etc gets used) and eventually it'll all
come back to xwt.lib.text, the standalone text xwt.

Any thoughts?
