The symbol XtNlabel is defined in StringDefs.h to be "label".
When you are writing application code and you want to reference the
resource named label, you refer to it as XtNlabel, as a convenience.
When you are writing resource files, StringDefs.h isn't operative,
isn't applicable, so you just name the resource itself.

Goodbye*button*label: Goodbye
