The idea behind this widget is there are two steps: one to create
a list specifying how to layout the dialog and the other to make the 
dialog. If you want to modify the object, you modify the list, not the 
dialog. The list can be obtained two ways. See either:

cat(gWidgets:::autogenerategeneric(mean))

or

svalue(ggenericwidget(mean))


The whole thing is pretty limited and you'll bump into its walls
if you try too much, but it can make basic dialogs very simple.
The gformlayout adds a bit more functionality for mapping a list 
into a dialog, but has nothing to autogenerate the list.
