I can now reproduce this reliably using the item detail template test
widget or the browse template test widget:

Preparation:

  - you need a fresh browser on which you have *not* logged into the
admin console
  - deploy the template test widgets: cd widgets/templates; ant
generate-test-widgets
  - visit the "Browse Test Widget"
  - everything should work fine

Reproduce the problem:

  - log into the wookie admin interface
  - visit the Browse Test Widget
  - you will be asked to login

This remains the case. I can only assume that this indicates a
difference in the interaction styles. The weather widget simply
consumes an RSS feed, the twitter widgets consume a REST service.

I've raised an issue at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WOOKIE-283
