Hello there,

the current version of snack.py (from newt-0.52.6-3.fc7.i386.rpm) introduced a
change in the function EntryWindow() that breaks compatibility with older versions:

| for n in prompts:
|     if (type(n) == types.TupleType):
|         (n, e) = n
>         e = Entry(entryWidth, e)
|     else:
|         e = Entry(entryWidth)

The previous version enabled one to submit preformatted prompts in two styles:
- prompts = ['ham', 'egg']
- prompts = [Entry(20, 'ham'), Entry(20, 'egg', hidden=True)]
The latter style could be used to pass password fields etc. with the hidden
attribute. However, the change above prevents this.

As I can see, this change was first introduced in a Debian (see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=340366) and somehow, this
change found its way back to Red Hat/Fedora. Thus, I expect changing the
behaviour was done by accident.

I suggest removing this patch or - if this behaviour was really desired - adding
additional type-checks to enable passing of Entry-Objects:

if type(e) == types.StringType:
    e = Entry(entryWidth, e)


Thank you.
