[qooxdoo-bugs] [Bug 6051] Add support for readOnly in the checkbox

[<bug...@qo...>]

--- Comment #2 from Daniel Wagner <dan...@1u...>  ---
I just don't see the use case for a read-only checkbox. If you want to
communicate a boolean state to the user without allowing them to change it,
just use an icon. A checkbox is an interactive element, so if it's disabled,
then it should be visually marked as such.
Read-only on text fields makes a certain amount of sense because unlike
disabled, it still allows the text value to be copied. But that obviously
doesn't apply to checkboxes.

I'm all for keeping APIs consistent across related classes, just not at the
cost of adding behavior to objects whether it makes sense or not.
