About PRWidgets

[Lukas Renggli]

Ok, now I understand the problem. Try:

Name: Pier-All-lr.200
Author: lr
Time: 30 April 2007, 9:02:05 pm
UUID: 58d90935-160c-4b0b-b5e4-b9ebc5bc599f
Ancestors: Pier-All-lr.199
Dependencies: Pier-Model-lr.150, Pier-Tests-lr.69, Pier-Seaside-lr. 
163, Pier-OmniBrowser-lr.24, Pier-Security-lr.80, Pier-Blog-lr.53

- fixed a bug where widgets were not initialized with default values  
when being instantiated manually

Cheers,
Lukas
