Looks great! This will be be big help.

I'm *very* glad to see the various constants/enums (events, layout 
hints, etc.) together in one place, with descriptions.

One question: sometimes an accessor has a set* method associated with it 
(e.g. FXWindow#height= and #setHeight), but the set method is not listed 
in the docs. That's good because it simplifies the docs and encourages 
use of the more ruby-like style. But occasionally I like to override the 
writer method, and reserve the set method for internal use. (Actually, 
it's just as easy for me to find out what set methods exist using irb, 
so I'm not suggesting a change.)

Thanks for the fantastic work, Lyle!
