Something that has come up with my evangelicism of XWT is that people seem 
to be under the impression that the engine will detect what OS it's running 
on and "hint" to the application what theme it should use.

I for one think this is an incredible idea.  Can we have an xwt.themehint() 
or xwt.oshint() function which returns what the engine thinks we should be 
using for a theme?  something like "macosx.[version].aqua" or 
"winxp.2183.luna" or "winxp.2183.legacy" ... 

By making it available to the application but not enforcing it there is on 
worry about having to require all themes in every app.  The app can simply 
choose to ignore the data or retheme to the closest theme available in the 
xwar.

Adam?
