3#  COMPONENT: owner - manages Rappture controls
4#
5#  This object represents an entity managing Rappture controls.
6#  It is typically a Tool, a DeviceEditor, or some other large entity
7#  that manages a Rappture XML tree.  All controlling widgets are
8#  registered with an owner, and the owner propagates notifications
9#  out to clients who have an interest in a particular control.
