[Chameleon] maintaining separate look and feel for standard widgets

[Paul Spencer]

We could do that as part of the Popup.php code so that all popups 
inherit the capability ... this would add a new attribute to every 
widget that supports popups, something like 'POPUPPAGE' and you would 
provide a URL to that page ...
