Comment:

 There seems to be no 'safe' way to unregister default widgets and register
 new theme specif ones with the same name(overwriting).
 I was able (with the use of 'do_action('widgets_init');) to register my
 pages widgets with register_widget(). But the widget is using the options
 array ($instance) from the default widget in the front end. In the backend
 everything is good.
