Of coure this will be always possible; the problem was to clearly highlight the next step to configure


like modifing cdebconf :) to support non-blocking questions to allow
many widgets on a single window (mimicking newt is just plain wrong)


Actually both the cdebconf protocol and the gtk frontend allow to handle multiple widgets at a time (to handle multiple questions that are diplayed togheter to the user with a single "GO"). I think this could be very useful with the network configuration utility where we could diplay ip, netmask, gw, dns in a single qestion list and hostname and domain name in another single qustion list (of course we would also need to mantain backward compatibility with newt frontend)
