That page shows everything about widgets except for what I asked about lol
The default sidebar content (as opposed to widgets) in within the sidebar.php template file.
check ‘mystique’ how he has done it
http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/mystique
sidebar.php
he has also integrated custom widgets,
in /lib/widgets.php
imho, that is quite close to using ‘real’ widgets as default code in a sidebar template.

Sorry I am confused. I see in sidebar.php that if no widgets are selected it will by default put in the static widgets listed in sidebar.php.
But when first create a subblog it already has 5 widgets in the “Primary Widget Area”. How do I change these 5 widgets?
In case you haven’t figured this out, all you do is drag a widget you want into the Primary widget area and save. (refresh your page)
The hardcoded ones will be replaced by the one/ ones you dragged there.

I think those 5 default widgets are hardcoded in wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php inside the wp_install_defaults function there is a line like this:
update_option( 'sidebars_widgets', array ( 'wp_inactive_widgets' => array ( ), 'primary-widget-area' => array ( 0 => 'search-2', 1 => 'recent-posts-2', 2 => 'recent-comments-2', 3 => 'archives-2', 4 => 'categories-2', 5 => 'meta-2', ), 'secondary-widget-area' => array ( ), 'first-footer-widget-area' => array ( ), 'second-footer-widget-area' => array ( ), 'third-footer-widget-area' => array ( ), 'fourth-footer-widget-area' => array ( ), 'array_version' => 3 ) );
I don’t think there is a way to modify those 5 default ones, other than monkey-patching the source code 🙁
