[Seaside] Oddness with #lightbox: in VW

[Yann Monclair]

Thanks Boris,

I can't say on the top of my head which version of scriptaculous we  
run, but I remember that that WARenderNotification raiseSignal isn't  
there, but it is in the #call: implementation.

Yes the lightbox isn't ajax, but it's eye candy that makes your app  
look more impressive ;)

Thanks,

Yann
