[Gtk-sharp-list] The .Label property of controls like the Gtk.Button

[Todd Berman]

Personally, I think that adding .Text is a good idea.

The goal of Gtk# (in my opinion) is to make an API that allows =
crossplatform
gui building and is *easy* for SWF developers to move too. Adding this
property is a good thing, not a bad thing.

Especially if it is just an alias for .Label

I would understand if this was severely esoteric code, but .Label and =
.Text
are pretty self evident.

And wrt to Gtk# not being its own living entity, I disagree, and I think =
it
surely is.

Again, this is all my opinion :)
