    IMO the manual should not bother the reader with unnecessary technical 
    details. Instead it should tell the reader that an editable field is not 
    allowed to be adjacent to a neighbouring widget. That is simpler and 
    leads to sound code.

I too think this is the wisest idea, because it is simple to explain.
We could add that some cases of this will actually work ok
but it would be too much trouble to try to explain which.

Where in widget.texi is a good place to say this?
