Widget description
==================
A Multibuttonentry is a widget to allow a user enter text and manage
it as a number of buttons. Each text button is inserted by pressing the
"return" key. If there is no space in the current row, a new button is
added to the next row. When a text button is pressed, it will become
focused. Backspace removes the focus. When the Multibuttonentry loses
focus items longer than one line are shrunk to one line.
Typical use case of multibuttonentry is, composing emails/messages to a
group of addresses, each of which is an item that can be clicked for
further actions.
