On second thoughts I think we ought to be able to merge the
ideas of the gmDemographics top 1/3 area with the popup from
the seach widget. I like the listing in the top 1/3 but
contend that we need to pat_expander functionality of the
popup. Even in Horst space we could raise to the top the
demographics page *when more than one patient was found*.
Scrolling gmDemographics might temporarily display the
highlighted patient's data while actually selecting it will
send out the patient_selected signal. That should work.

To that end it might be helpful to work with cPerson objects
instead of gmCurrentPatient in gmDemographics.py. Then we'd
need to provide a convenience method that promotes a cPerson
into the gmCurrentPatient. We'll need something like that for
promoting preloaded persons from the waiting list anyway.
