Ultimately, we'll have traps on JS objects. Then all children need to 
do is put their traps on thisbox.surface, and surface.xwt just catches 
on the root box and puts to the traps on the surface object.

It will be just as easy (~10 new lines in surface.xwt), the only 
difference is now we can fake the root box. So an MDI can be built with 
fake windows, along with Window Managers (imagining XWT running 
straight on a framebuffer), etc.

For now, we just have to use a function-style interface on the surface 
object.
