[reportlab-users] Widgets as Flowables...

Hi,

taking the previous thread further... Isn't it unfortunate that
Widgets can't be used directly as Flowables in Platypus?

So, I'm trying to wrap a Widget as a Flowable, but since Widgets
have no drawOn method it cannot be used for that purpose and
I need to either wrap a widget first with a Drawing, then with
a Flowable or, more directly, in a subclass of Drawing.

Both seems like a cumbersome workaround to me, but of course YMMV.

PS: Also a candidate FAQ entry... BTW, I think the FAQ might be
     more appropriately placed below Documentation on the website.
