Still getting nowhere with this. I'd really appreciate a solution,
workaround (like how to know the height of the TextLabel needed to fit
the text, etc) or at least acknowledgement of the problem, as I'm sort
of stuck at this point on the installer project. The full blown html
component is not feasable for this, as it means adding another
component and also reduces the possibility if porting to the gtk
component later.
