[Chameleon] More than one MapTips widget at the same time

[Julien-Samuel Lacroix]

Hi Carlo,
I've already modified the MapTips widget for a project here to be able 
to specify multiple layers. However there's a lot of problem when two 
points overlap. Only one of them will show up. I'm suppose to readdress 
the MapTips widget with collision detection or something like that inthe 
future. No idea when though. I'm not sure if this will end up in CVS 
since that may become very client specific.

In the mean time I can provide you the modified MapTips widget if you want.
