 Replying to [comment:65 bradyvercher]:
 Personally I would love to see something such as @bradyvercher described
 above. If there was a separate control that reused the widgets code, but
 restricted the available widgets to a theme specified subset - then that
 would be perfect imo.

 I like the idea of reusing the menus code - the downside is that you
 wouldn't be able to add additional properties - for instance the original
 mockup included a property for the number of columns. That would be easily
 possible using widgets - since they already have that functionality.
