Yes, that's what I am suggesting.

The thread from June 23-ish "New Posting Screen", was never really 
resolved, as far as I saw.

I don't see what makes WYSIWYG, prima facie, deserving of an option, 
while draggable widgets undeserving.  I know _you_ want it in there; and 
I accept that maybe a lot of people want it in there.  But as you told 
me off-list, the rich edit option comes with a net loss of three 
options.  So even adding a seperate option for draggable widgets _still_ 
represents a net loss (read: savings) of two options.  Bundle rich edit 
and widgets into one option, and you retain your three options savings.

I don't see a lot of value to the interface changes for myself, and the 
users I support directly.
