The XUI window widget just provides a blank X window on which you can
perform any Xlib functions.  Some possibilities are XDrawText and
XDrawImageText.  Both of these just draw text at the coordinates you
specify, with no wrapping or scrolling.  If you want higher level
functionality, you should look at the XUI text widget or consider
writing your own widget.
