I found the solution. It was something completly different as where I
was searching. And now I know the solution, it is very logical. ;-}

In my model I have:
owner = ForeignKey("Owner")

In my WidgetsList class I had:
owner = SingleSelectField(label = ownerLabel,
options = getOwners)
but that should be:
ownerID = SingleSelectField(label = ownerLabel,
options = getOwners)

I'll change the other definitions also and then I can get rid of the
ugly javascript I used for setting the good select.

Maybe good to document this somewhere? To prevent other people
stepping into this trap.
