How can I easily combine the functionality of a Label and TextFlow? In
particular, I like the Label's integration of icon and text, and
TextFlow's word-wrap and bidi functionality.

Another question: aside from the Label's support for an icon, what
advantages does a Label offer over TextFlow? i.e. why would anyone use
Label instead of TextFlow

Label came first. It allows you to specify the icon's placement relative to
the text. It also supports truncation when the figure's size is not big
enough for the text.

Text package is intended for rendering paragraph-like information. You can
display an image inside a FlowPage. Use a FlowAdapter, and ImageFigure.
