I haven't studied the XEmacs implementation, so I'll let Hrvoje speak for it. But apropos, while you are looking at the code... I added a `:always-active' flag which makes it possible to browse documentation widgets, even when they are part of a deactivated container widget. This helps the Gnus group parameter customization feature a lot. I don't remember if Hrvoje implemented another solution for that. 2000-05-01 Per Abrahamsen <abraham(a)dina.kvl.dk&gt; * wid-edit.el (widget-default-active): Obey `:always-active'. (widget-documentation-string-value-create): Set `:always-active'.
