I think this will go into the next version (after 1.5), because there still
are bugs to fix before releasing 1.5. I am also thinking of add-ons
for 1.5 that could add some functionality later.
One way to set the focus sequence is to redefine the <Tab> or <Shift-Tab>
bindings, switching to the next or previous widget in the order you want.
You could create one binding tag and apply it to all the widgets in your
form. The binding tag would know the list of widgets to tab to.

All right... I don't want any bug to escape alive :-)
I need help on this one. What attributes get lost ? Can you report a bug
about it (and possibly include a sample with the bug report) ?
Thanks!

I often wished to be able to do that! I mostly use the place manager for
rapid development. After some fiddling with, say, a form with many entries,
adding one here and moving one there, the focus sequence goes bogus ...
I ended up with cutting and pasting around in the script code to change
the order of widgets.
Obviously this feature must be manager-dependent ...
(I played around with cut and paste in the widget tree, but attributes
of widgets seem to get lost in the process, right?)
