Login

Hi all,

I'm trying to do a pretty simplistic approach to login enforcement -- 
cover the entire UI with a login pane and only hide it when the user 
successfully logs in. What I'm doing is this:

     <template id="main" orient="vertical">
         <tabpane id="tabs">
             <nl.irisadvies.iris.accounts id="tab_accounts"
               tabtext="[Accounts]"/>
             <nl.irisadvies.iris.preferences tabtext="[Preferences]"/>
         </tabpane>
         <login absolute="true" color="lightGray"/>
     </template>

Where login.xwt holds:

<xwt>
   <template>
     __KeyPress = function() {}
     __KeyRelease = function() {}
     __Click1 = function() {}
     __Click2 = function() {}
     __Click3 = function() {}

     <box>
       <box id="lblUsername" text="[Username:]" shrink="true"/>
       <bevel form="down" thickness="2" shrink="true">
         <edit id="username" width="100" text="" color="white"/>
       </bevel>
     </box>

     <box>
       <box id="lblPassword" text="[Password:]" shrink="true"/>
       <bevel form="down" thickness="2" shrink="true">
         <edit id="password" width="100" text="" color="white"/>
       </bevel>
     </box>

     <box visible="false">
       <box id="lblPasswordConfirm" text="[Password:]" shrink="true"/>
       <bevel form="down" thickness="2" shrink="true">
         <edit id="password" width="100" text="" color="white"/>
       </bevel>
     </box>

     <button id="login"/>
   <template/>
</xwt>

If I set 'absolute="true"' in the template in login.xwt, it doesn't do 
anything. I must declare these properties in the 'call' to login in my 
main template.

Additionally, when I don't set the color, it doesn't actually do 
anthing, and the widgets below the login surface remain functional. I'd 
have expected them to go dead, since there's a covering pane which 
captures all the events. If I do set the color (I chose lightGray above) 
the underlying widgets disappear, but I don't see the widgets in the 
login pane either.
