I am not sure what you exactly want to achieve, but for the reasons already mentioned generic copy/assignment operators for widgets does not seem to be a good idea. If it is a work-around to copy "visual" properties of the widget, then it is probably better to have some simple pointer-based implementations of styles for things like label*(font, size, ...), box, color etc. This style could be copyable though. The other (worse in my opinion) possibility would be to derive Fl_Widget from some copyable "Fl_Style" and forbid the copy/assignment op. at the widget level but still allow to copy the common properties at the base level.
