<p>
Druids (sometimes called <span class="emphasis"><em>Wizards</em></span> on other systems)
are a series of dialog boxes that lead the user through a task that is
serial in nature (that is, it has a natural beginning, sequence through
the pages and an end).
</p>
<p>
Some applications (for example GNOME Lokkit -- for setting up simple
firewall settings) are purely a series of screens that extract some
information from the user and then performs an action based on that data.
Other applications may be more traditional in nature, however they may
wish to run the user through a series of question the first time they run
the application; such as to set things up correctly or to import
settings from another program. Both these types of programs can use the
various druid functions to make their implementation easier.
