Subject: Re: Cannot remove a widget
I wouldn't say it's a "standard" widget, but it is in a package that is
very likely to be installed.

...and I would bet good money that you do have it installed.

Do you suspect that this widget breaking things, or are you just doing
some housekeeping, and getting rid of unused widgets?
