Re: Overriding panel's iterator() prevents clickHandler from being called.

Ah, I finally see what you are doing with that iterator. You are
using that to find and remove the item elements from the view.

What you are doing "wrong" is just abusing an existing method. You
generally try to not change the contracts of methods by overriding
them and assigning them different functionality, as it tends to break
existing code, and just be confusing.

There are many ways to do this kind of thing. The simplest would
probably be to define a new method "getItemElementsIterator" or
whatever else you want to call it, and return the flow panels iterator
that you want with that new method.
