Comment(by hakre):

 What I mean is that even there is old data (wrong formatted data) you
 still can register those widgets, even with the old data. That prevents
 from having widgets not displayed. So this must not be a compability
 issue, just make shure that at least all widgets are registered that are
 part of the factory. Currently this is not the case and I think this is
 the concrete bug.

 Refactoring indeed is a good idea (I already suggested it) but for fixing
 that bug, it's not a need. The widgets _register function just only needs
 to take a bit more to register the widget in any case. Otherwise it will
 disappear.
