AFAIK there's no Dict widget in zope.

You could wait until tomorrow when I'm back @work. I wrote 3 widgets:
   * a generic dict widget (*:*)
   * a choice dict widget (IChoice:*) which will remove elements already
     used as keys from a given vocabulary.
   * a language dict widget (ILanguageChoice:*) which is for providing
     an arbitrary number of language versions of something.

Additionally I wrote a a fixed Dict-class. The zope one (zope.schema.Dict)
is broken and doesn't bind the key_type correctly.
