This error tells you that the "widget manager" (implementing ``IWidgets``) 
cannot be found for your (form, request, context) discriminator. This can 
really just mean one of the following three things:

1. Your skin "MovingTargetBrowser" does *not* inherit from the ``IFormLayer`` 
skin. Can you show us your skin definition in Python and the registration in 
ZCML?

2. Your form does not provide ``IFieldsForm``. What does the following return?

  >>> from z3c.form import interfaces
  >>> interfaces.IFieldsForm.providedBy(form)

  Can you paste your form Python code and the registration?

3. You did not hook up the ZCML files of z3c.form? Are you sure 
z3c/form/configure.zcml is loaded? This can be checked by causing a syntax 
error in that file and see whether the startup also breaks.

No, the data manager and everything else is defined for the common case you 
are having.
