The code is surely complicated (at least I think it is) so it is no surprise. However I wonder if I am missing something. Is there an easy way to find out what is going to happen when a widget is created? Could there even be one? Any suggestion on how to read code of that sort? (I mean partly OO, dynamic scoping etc.)
