           Summary: [Chameleon - Core] widgets found in chameleon instead of
                    user-defined directories
           Product: Chameleon
           Version: 1.99
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: chameleon-dev at lists.maptools.org
        ReportedBy: pspencer at dmsolutions.ca


When executing a Chameleon application, it is possible to include additional
directories that can be searched for widget definitions.  The intention is to
allow client or application-specific widgets to be deployed that are not part of
the main Chameleon distribution.

If the same widget resides in both Chameleon and in the application-defined
directory, Chameleon currently will find its own widget first and never use the
application-specific one.

In practice this situation shouldn't come up, but theoretically it is possible
that a client application could redefine the behaviour of a widget in this way
(for instance, provide a modified query widget that formats output differently).
 so this should be changed.
