curses/curses_misc.py:

Added support for setting the text in the input dialog
  Changed "body" to "parent" in ComboBox.
  set_focus() unconditionally sets the focus now
  Moved error() to this file.  It fits better here, anyway.
  Reverted TextDialog to its previous state
curses/netentry_curses.py:
  Moved error() to curses_misc.py
curses/wicd-curses.py:
  "Deimplemented" the script configurator, at the suggestion of various folks
    #wicd, and replaced it with a simple instructions dialog.  My original code
    is still there, just commented out.
  Added support for renaming wired network profiles (F2 when over the combo box)
  Fixed various issues caused when deleting wired network profiles.
  Refactored the help/about dialogs to support the old TextDialog
curses/README, in/man=wicd-curses.8.in:
  Script configurator has been "changed"
