Which is related to:

And my use of that class comes directly from the original Starkers, which is based pm TwentyTen, if I remember correctly.
As for styling them, assuming you don’t move your sidebar widgets around too often, there are plenty of well-supported CSS selectors to apply different styles to the various widgets:

http://caniuse.com/#feat=css-sel3
Otherwise, you pretty much just need to do a Find/Replace to either remove that class or replace it with something else.
