Comment (by ocean90):

 Is the screenshot from aaroncampbell still up to date?

 It looks a bit different by me and I don't know if it's the right
 behaviour:

 Theme is 2011: Widget settings: http://cl.ly/1x0C102T343t1N3p1i47

 After switching to 2010 theme: Widget settings:
 http://cl.ly/2J0E2B3a1F371b2H442q

 Now switching back to 2011 brings the same settings as in first
 screenshot.

 If I comment out the {{{register_sidebar}}} for ''Footer Area Three'' I
 get this: http://cl.ly/2Q261U2e022Q3w0s0H2Pv (As you can see the title is
 too long too.)
