Yeah, that will work for my case, even though it is not intuitive (using the 
"launch the app" functionality to show the readme instead). This works for me 
because I don't need a separate checkbox to launch the app.

There is one little glitch, as described here:
http://www.dizzymonkeydesign.com/blog/misc/adding-and-customizing-dlgs-in-wix-3/
and here:
http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Option-checkbox-in-ExitDialog-isn-t-transparent-td3196746.html
The checkbox shows up on top of the background bitmap, which is kind of ugly. 
So I'll have to make a custom ExitDialog anyway.

BTW, it would be nice if the How To topic mentions this issue and offers 
possible solutions - move the checkbox, make the bitmap smaller, use a static 
text (bleh! I hate when installers do that, but at least now I know why :) ).
