I've never noticed an option, where you can disable widgets. How exactly did you disable the widgets?

Widgets is loaded off of a plugins_loaded hook. Removing that hook will prevent widgets from being loaded. Those doing this should probably allow widgets to load for the admin so that the dashboard will work.

Maybe Widgets shouldn't be allowed to be disabled anymore.

Solution for this? Is it time to move the widget initialisation to an earlier hook? Or just suggest people dont disable them for admin..
