Trying to understand resources - Window[C][S][X]

I'm trying to get better understanding how MyGUI works internally. I was looking how Window is designed:

    <Resource type="ResourceLayout" name="WindowCSX" version="3.2.0">

        <Widget type="Widget" skin="PanelEmpty" position="15 10 68 49" name="Root">

            <Property key="Snap" value="true"/>

            <UserString key="LE_TargetWidgetType" value="Window"/>

            <Widget type="Widget" skin="WindowFrameSkin" position="0 28 68 20" align="Stretch">

                <Widget type="Widget" skin="ClientTileSkin" position="4 2 58 12" align="Stretch" name="Client"/>

                <Widget type="Button" skin="WindowResizeRightDownSkin" position="57 9 9 9" align="Right Bottom" name="ResizeRightBottom">

                    <Property key="Pointer" value="size_left"/>

                </Widget>

                <Widget type="Button" skin="WindowResizeLeftDownSkin" position="0 9 9 9" align="Left Bottom" name="ResizeLeftBottom">

                    <Property key="Pointer" value="size_right"/>

                </Widget>

            </Widget>

            <Widget type="Widget" skin="CaptionWithButtonSkin" position="0 0 68 28" align="HStretch Top">

                <Widget type="Button" skin="ButtonCloseSkin" position="44 6 18 17" align="Right Top" name="Button">

                    <UserString key="Event" value="close"/>

                </Widget>

                <Widget type="TextBox" skin="TextBox" position="7 1 29 22" align="HStretch Top" name="Caption">

                    <Property key="TextColour" value="0 0 0"/>

                    <Property key="TextAlign" value="Center"/>

                    <Property key="FontName" value="Default"/>

                </Widget>

            </Widget>

        </Widget>

        <Widget type="Window" skin="WindowCSX" position="15 75 68 49">

            <Property key="Caption" value="Text"/>

        </Widget>

    </Resource>

I have a few specific questions, but any more general info is very useful - is there any good explanation in wiki you can direct me to?

How does this get used: <UserString key="Event" value="close"/> In my code, I put event handler on eventWindowButtonPressed and check the name is "close"... but this bit of XML makes me wonder if I can hook directly to close event?[/*:m]
Why do you have separate "Root" widget with all the functionality, and then the actual WindowCSX widget underneath? How are the two connected?[/*:m][/list:u]
