Just did implemented some GUI improvements for the famous apropos dialog:

http://github.com/downloads/kennytilton/qooxlisp/apropos-kt2.jpg

The "Search" button is gone, just hit return. duh

The search string is no longer a combo box where one can recall prior
searches. Talk about overkill. This led to the qooxdoo TextField widget
being wrapped.

The two-step process where one had to check a checkbox to enable a
widget thatwould let us select which package to search in has been
replaced by one widget, a List (newly wrapped). Don't click anything we
search all, and now one can select more than one to search multiple
packages. A lot handier, too, than a selectBox which one pops open and
then ahs to scroll. Am I a genius or what?

The table of results shows off for the first time customized column
widths and the use of a DataCellRender, the boolean one. Hate how it
looks but I'll leave it. If I do it again I'll use an image render and
pull in a pretty checkmark image from the huge library of qooxdoo images.

Time to do Algebra, but if anyone wants a new widget wrapped lemme know.
