   This is a great plugin but I was trying to list terms from a hierarchical custom taxonomy and the problem was that it was not listed in the taxonomy dropdown.

   Looking into the code I found the problem on line 139:
   

   $taxonomies = get_taxonomies( array( 'show_tagcloud' => true ), 'objects' );

   show_tagcloud causes get_taxonomies to return only tag-like taxonomies. I decided to go for a quick fix by simply removing the first parameter. Thus making

   $taxonomies = get_taxonomies( '', 'objects' );

   And that returns all the taxonomies. Nav menus are also included but I didn't experiment on listing any of them.

   show_tagcloud causes get_taxonomies to return only tag-like taxonomies.

   That is incorrect, assuming you mean non-hierarchical by "tag-like." The show_tagcloud argument would be used upon taxonomy registration for taxonomies that you'd want to do things like grant the ability to list out a taxonomy's terms. Really great way for widgets to determine whether to show the taxonomy.

   Aha, well then pardon me for misunderstanding the show_tagcloud argument. Then I should be passing it when creating new taxonomies. But the codex just states that:

   show_tagcloud
   (boolean) (optional) Whether to show a tag cloud in the admin UI for this taxonomy

   And what if I don't want to have a tag-cloud in the admin UI and still use the widget without hacking? =)

   Ok, turns out that show_tagcloud has no effect on the UI when the taxonomy is hierarchical. So that makes it clear. But not clear enough in the Codex - might just slide in a minor edit.
