Okay, after some introspection (__dict__ rules) I found this
solution:

class SixChamberChannelForm(ModelForm):
    def __init__(self, **keyw):
        super(SixChamberLayerForm, self).__init__(**keyw)
        self.fields["gas"].widget = forms.TextInput(attrs={"size": "10"})
        self.fields["diluted_in"].widget = forms.TextInput(attrs={"size": "10"})
    class Meta:
        model = models.SixChamberChannel

I nobody sees possible unfortunate side effects here, I think that's
it.

Tschö,
Torsten.
