Well, it is not as simple as that.  The FXRuby API docs for
FXShutter, FXShutterItem, FXScrollbar and FXList at least refer to
Message Identifiers which are constants, and are not names of the
originating objects.  So should these be called Message Types for
consitency with other FOX docs, or what?
