   Hello.

   I want to show some widgets only on the index page, another on categories page, others on topics pages...

   Can somebody advice me a plugin that cad do so?

   Typically themes use the if(function_exists('register_sidebar')) to handle widgets in a sidebar. You could use Conditional Tags to test for the pages you don't want the widgets.

   But you might also consider some plugins that can help you with that:

   and

   I second the widget-logic. I use it on all my sites for this.

   slayers has a major flaw for me. I use a ton of widgets over my site and the menu for slayers just lists the widget as "text" instead of by the title you gave it. Kind of a pain when I have 40 text widgets.
