 * There’s no plugin that I’m aware of. For now you’re gonna have to hack your widgets.
   php file – it’s in the wp-includes folder. (If anyone with a little more experience
   with WP hacking than I do would like to confirm, deny or correct anything here,
   please feel free to do so.)
 * Before you do anything, BACK UP THE ORIGINAL FILE!!! This is good practice anyway,
   in case you bork something.
 * First, you’ll want to find a chunk of code that begins with
    `function wp_widget_text_setup()`
   Where it says `if ( $number > 9 ) $number = 9;` change 9 to x (x being the number
   of text widgets you want)
 * Next, find the chunk of code that begins with:
    `function wp_widget_text_register()`
   and change 9 to x in this line: `if ( $number > 9 ) $number = 9;` and this one:`
   for ($i = 1; $i <= 9; $i++)`
 * Finally, look for this:
    `function wp_widget_text_page()` Where it reads: `<?
   php for ( $i = 1; $i < 10; ++$i )` change 10 to x+1 (i.e., one higher than your
   desired number of widgets)
 * This **SHOULD** work. Again, if any of this is wrong **please** feel free to 
   correct…

 * i’m having the same problem w/tiga after the upgrade. i’m guessing that it’s 
   a compatibility issue with 2.2.
 * i’m sure there’s a way to hack tiga into submission to get it to work with the
   new-style widgets, but i’m very uncomfortable with fiddling w/php code…
