widget properties

[Brian Milby]

I’m not sure I follow.  The proposal I’m making is no different than what
the engine does today, just allowing the same information to be saved to an
array.  The internal state of the widget is the same as what would be used
on export/import.  It just adds the other properties (rect, ...) to the
array.

I’ll need to look again, but I think that export uses OnSave to get the
array.  Import uses OnLoad.  This would save the step of setting the other
properties.
