Maybe you will want to have a look at LibGWT which should provide the
foundation for such things: event routing and region management for
"window-like" things.
Even if you do not like it as-is, maybe you will find useful for your task
to re-use or enhance it.
Note also that, in the context of LibGWT, I also wanted to figure out how
it would be possible to share a "wisual" between various processes
(top-level manager/server and child processes). I'd be interested to look
on how you handle such problem within Berlin.
