displayed on specific page

 Steps to reproduce:

 1. Activate Twenty Eleven
 2. In Appearance > Widgets, add a widget to the Showcase widget area (only
 displayed on pages using the Showcase Page Template)
 3. Load your home page. {{{is_active_widget}}} will return true for that
 widget, even if it is not displayed on the home page.

 It seems like it would be nice if {{{is_active_widget}}} only returned
 true when the widget was actually displayed on the page. I'm not sure how
 to do that, though.
