[Chameleon] problem in HelpWidget.widget.php

[Paul Spencer]

Bart, thanks for pointing this out, it is indeed a bug.  There are a 
couple of issues with this ... one being that widgets can now come from 
different directories, and the other being that we are redesigning the 
widget documentation structure somewhat.  In any case, this is a bug and 
will be fixed in the cvs version in the next week or so.  Your 
workaround is an acceptable solution for the moment, the final code will 
actually search all possible widget directories.

Chees,

Paul
