I only want the \"Finish\" button to be enabled at the very last
wizard-page. However, if I call setPageComplete(true) to enable the
\"Finish\" button and press button \"Back\", then the \"Finish\" button is
enabled and the user can exit the wizard in the middle of the process.
This is not what I intend to do. I only allow the user to exit the wizard
when all the required steps are properly carried out.
