=head1 DESCRIPTION

This constructor builds a standard widget demonstration window, composed of
three frames.  The top frame contains descriptive demonstration text.  The
bottom frame contains the "Dismiss" and "See Code" buttons.  The middle frame
is demonstration container, which came be managed by either the pack or grid
geometry manager.

The -text attribute is supplied to a Label widget, which is left-adjusted
with -wraplength set to 4 inches.  If you require different specifications
then pass an array to -text; the first element is the text string and
the remaining array elements are standard Label widget attributes - WidgetDemo
will rearrange things as required..

    -text => ['Hello World!', qw/-wraplength 6i/],
