,-[qooxdoo-1.1-sdk/framework/source/class/qx/Bootstrap.js:554]
| 
| getClass : function(value)
| {
|   var classString = Object.prototype.toString.call(value);
|   return (
|     qx.Bootstrap.__classToTypeMap[classString] ||

|   );
| },

,-[ibid.:554]

| isString : function(value)
| {
|   // Added "value !== null" because IE throws an exception "Object

|   // e.q. by document.getElementById("ReturnedNull").
|   return (
|     value !== null && (
|     typeof value === "string" ||
|     qx.Bootstrap.getClass(value) == "String" ||
|     value instanceof String ||
|     (!!value && !!value.$$isString))
|   );
| },

This alone proves that qooxdoo is junk as its authors are completely 
clueless.  Get over it.
