The features that this widget provide are:
1) common manager widget to make implementing multiple widgets set possible.
2) the ability of providing an interactive editing capibility to every application.
3) with the advent of an object (gadget) based annotations capibility. We want any application to be able to advantage of this feature with little or no work. (this also enforces a common interface).
First off by having a common widget "manager" we effectively make the implementation of multiple widget sets possible. The idea is that most widgets sets such as
Athena, Motif, Open Look (Olit)
have similar objects such as buttons, labels, lists, etc. But the manager widgets are not similar. They all have a different layout philsophy and terminolgy thus making it difficult to write transparent code for. Also, since we originally wrote Khoros 1.0 with the MIT Form Widget in mind, this part of the system is extremely similar in terminology.
