Widgets can have a default action associated with them if they don't normally have a response for that action. An example is a text input field that would activate a button when return was pressed such as a search engine input on a web page: Hitting return activates the "Search" button while typing input into the search field. We have implemented this in the installer GUI also. Check the user name and password entry widgets as an example. The default action for these widgets is to activate the "Next" button.
