 * i have the same problem now!
 * my action calls:
 * `
    add_action ('widgets_init', array('satpress_widgets','init'));
 * //in the init function:
 * $widget = new Sprw();
    register_widget_control ('sprw_control', array($widget,'
   sprw_control'), 350, 200);
 * // in the sprw_control function:
 * ...
    print_r($options);
 * //is correct
 * print_r($_POST);
 * gives an empty array.

 * sorry, the first line has to be:
 * add_action (‘widgets_init’, array(‘Sprw’,’init’));
