Hi, everyone,

if someone is still interested in this issue, the OMELETTE research project [1] brought up several ideas on this problem. E.g., our research group [2] developed a mechanism to display and control IWC in a page [3]. For this purpose, the config.xml file of widgets is extended with descriptions of their publications and subscriptions. Possible message flows are then visualized with arrows. Furthermore, users can either block a single flow or completely isolate a widget (see screenshot). 
To use these features, one needs to extend both Wookie (0.13.1) and Rave (0.22) using the attached patches. 

Any feedback or comments are welcome!

> Evaluation has indicated that the inter widget communication going on in the background is not noted by users. 
> One possible solution would be to flash the frame of the receiving widgets in some color.
> Another option is to have some small icon flying from sender to receiver. The latter one should only occur for user-triggered IWC, however due to possible animation overload.
