   How do you code widget descriptions as found with default widgets using the function.php?

   <?php
   function widget_mytheme_pages() {
   ?>
   	Customozed Page Widget Code here
   <?php
   }
   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar_widget') )
   	register_sidebar_widget(__('Pages'), 'widget_mytheme_pages');
   ?>

   Figured it out. The register_sidebar_widget built in function does not support it. Instead, the depreciated function wp_register_sidebar_widget does support this:

   <?php
   	function widget_mytheme_tag_cloud() {
   	?>
   		Customozed Page Widget Code here
   	<?php
   	}
   	if ( function_exists('wp_register_sidebar_widget') )
   		$widget_ops = array('id' => 'tag_cloud','title' => 'Tag Cloud', 'description' => "Your most used tags in cloud format" );
   		wp_register_sidebar_widget($widget_ops['id'], $widget_ops['title'], 'widget_mytheme_' . $widget_ops['id'], $widget_ops);
   ?>
