The way it's done, there's a performance impact of next-to-nothing.  ie it's
all assigned dynamically.  Plus, it's better to make the widgets slightly
flexible than it is to bloat the widget set with lots of very similar
widgets.

The widget audit has the following priorities (in no specific order):
1) ease of use
2) conformation to reasonable standards - xwt and otherwise
3) minimising duplication

Having a scrollpane and scrollpane_with_headers goes against all 3 of those
principles.
