User-visible text doesn't belong in the source code. On Windows, the
label text normally lives in the resource (.rc) file; with Xt-based
toolkits (Athena, Motif), it belongs in the app-defaults file.
Generally, you only set widget properties programmatically if you have
to (i.e. because the values are determined dynamically).
