 the_widget() generates php notices when not passed $args and $instance
 parameters. To my knowledge these parameters are intended to be optional.
 To reproduce:

 1. Define WP_DEBUG as true in wp_config.php
 2. Please the following code in any template file in your active theme:


 {{{
 <?php
         the_widget( 'WP_Widget_Archives' );
         the_widget( 'WP_Widget_Calendar' );
         the_widget( 'WP_Widget_Categories' );
         the_widget( 'WP_Nav_Menu_Widget' );
         the_widget( 'WP_Widget_Links' );
         the_widget( 'WP_Widget_Meta' );
         the_widget( 'WP_Widget_Pages' );
         the_widget( 'WP_Widget_Recent_Comments' );
         the_widget( 'WP_Widget_Recent_Posts' );
         the_widget( 'WP_Widget_RSS' );
         the_widget( 'WP_Widget_Search' );
         the_widget( 'WP_Widget_Tag_Cloud' );
         the_widget( 'WP_Widget_Text' );
 ?>
 }}}

 I have attached a patch that I believe eliminates all notices. Please let
 me know your thoughts.
