--[[
Wrapper Widget that manages focus for a whole dialog

supports a 2D model of active elements

e.g.:
	layout = {
		{ textinput, textinput },
		{ okbutton,  cancelbutton }
	}

this is a dialog with 2 rows. in the top row, there is the
single (!) widget <textinput>. when the focus is in this
group, left/right movement seems (!) to be doing nothing.

in the second row, there are two widgets and you can move
left/right. also, you can go up from both to reach <textinput>,
and from that go down and (depending on internat coordinates)
reach either <okbutton> or <cancelbutton>.

but notice that this does _not_ do the layout for you,
it rather defines an abstract layout.
