RE: [widgets] What does it mean to have an unavailable API

Hi Marcos,

Last week during the BONDI meeting that you also attended we concluded that requestFeature() will be applicable also to widgets. The detailed discussion is planned anyway.

Thanks.

Kind regards,
Marcin

Ok.

Right. However, I don't know why we are discussing this if, as you
