[Pascal B. <pa...@dy...>]

please note that if you really want to extend the dynlayer you should write
it as an extension.. not a widget.  So that would mean using
DynLayer.prototype.extension as your code, not creating a new object.

also it's not that much code to type when wanting to pass arguments to the
DynLayer constructor:

function myWidget(id,x,y,w,h) {
	this.DynLayer=DynLayer
	this.DynLayer(id,x,y,w,h)
	return this
}

that's all.. you simply pass the parameters to the DynLayer, no need to do
every initialisation the DynLayer does (unless you want to change or check
values first)
