Comment:

 My first patch, be nice :p

 Selector is displayed only if there is post types that are not built in
 and those are public, it defaults to 'post' and also allows to choose that
 or 'any' alongside CPT's.

 Patch contains two new filters;
 * `widget_posts_cpt_args` to change arguments passed for `get_post_types`
 * `widget_posts_cpt_selector` if false, selector will not be displayed

 Yes, most of users probably will not need this functionality and will get
 confused when they see it. However, as a developer, it's annoying to
 invent the wheel again every single time and make own widget for this
 functionality when there is already good basic widget for recent posts.
