Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 The second patch I've uploaded is optional.

 It's a fix to the wp_convert_widget_settings function. It prevents unused,
 single widgets from getting listed twice (once in the available widgets,
 and once in the inactive widgets) during the 2.8 upgrade process.

 Whether this is desirable is probable. As in, if I'm not using the tag
 cloud widget, there doesn't seem to be any valid reason to clutter my
 inactive widgets with one in addition to the available tag cloud widget.
 But it could also be argued that there might be a pre-configured, "saved"
 one somewhere.
