See attached patch. Not all plugins use the widget_[name] convention, and the patch allows to readily migrate old widgets to their new format.

  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Status changed from new to closed

The alt_option_name can be used to solve this similarly to WP_Widget_Recent_Comments and WP_Widget_Recent_Posts.

it might be worth documenting it a bit more than it already is, in the widget's constructor et al.
