[Twisted-Python] viewStack breakage

[Donovan Preston]

If you look in the commit, you'll see a comment about this problem...

         # This works for simple cases, unfortunately this widget 
doesn't have
         # appropriate mvc stack -- it only has itself

I'm going to have to copy the stack each time I create a widget and 
store it in the widget so that later when a widget gets a modelChanged 
notification, the correct stuff is on the stack. Doing this will also 
help with Deferreds -- they'll run in to the same problem right now, 
when the deferred fires they won't have the proper things on the stack.

I might get to this today, but I might not.
