Exact method I really don't know, I guess what I was imagining were a
way for a widget to define the sort of security class it was in, so
e.g. there could be 4:

"Only back to site jibbering.com"
"Accesses any website"
"Accesses local file system"
"Accesses local resources such as camera"

Then the Widget framework could provide a sensible UI to list what the
widget might doing, rather than a simple binary trust aspect of
widgets.  But I really don't have good strong suggestions.
