I've been thinking about this, and I think we should have:

xwt.theme.text (text engine)
xwt.widget.text (scrollable, beveled, etc)
xwt.widget.label (selectable, uneditable)

xwt.theme.richtext (richtext engine)
xwt.widget.richtext (scrollable, beveled, etc)


singleline/multiline are really states of a textfield, but a label is 
more than just a text with editable == false. On monopoly, a label has 
a transparent background. A editable == false text has a white 
background. This will be different for different themes, so we don't 
want a developer specifically setting text to have these properties.
