		The state of the widgets and the grab is restored by a call to $widget−>Unbusy.
		Note however that while a window exists for $widget the perl object is maintained (due to "references" in perl/Tk internals) even though original variables may have gone out of scope.
		The update method is useful in scripts where you are performing a long-running computation but you still want the application to respond to events such as user interactions; if you occasionally call update then user input will be processed during the next call to update.

	The Widget Maker's Prime Directive - O'Reilly Mac DevCenter Blog
		As soon as your widgets fade away into their OpenGL-accelerated purgatory, their resource usage drops to zero and your full-sized applications have the undivided attention of your CPU again.
		It is the responsibility of each individual widget to keep track of its processing and return it to the system when put away.
		If designers fail to do this, users will notice their computers run more slowly after Dashboard is run, conclude it’s a resource hog, and maybe even take the drastic step of disabling it all together.

	Overview
		IDL widgets are significantly easier to use than other alternatives, such as writing a C language program using the native window system graphical interface toolkit directly.
		Events from IDL widgets are generated in the form of an IDL structure variable specific to the widget.
		Depending on the type of widget, the widget value may represent a static item set by the programmer (the label of a button widget, for example) or a dynamic value set by the user (the numerical value of a slider widget, for example).

		Apple could develop the widget, for example with a design similar to the existing Tachometer screensaver in the Technology Preview 2 version (TP2), and the widget could be shipped with Tiger
		Contrary to the screensaver, the agent would get an idea of the cluster status even when its computer is not idle and potentially not actually participating in the cluster; this will not be the case if the agent is set to 'always' accept tasks.
		The widget could also make sense for the user of a xgrid client or controller; it seems the APIs for the client will be available in Tiger to allow the developement of a widget.
