Comment:

 Contextually, remove means "remove from sidebar" and should probably move
 it to inactive area. From inactive area, "Remove" should be "Delete"
 instead, since you're deleting the formatted/configured widget. We should
 get rid of the current method of deleting by dragging back to the
 Available Widgets area, as it implies the configured widget is being
 moved, not that it's being deleted. And changing "Remove" to "Deactivate"
 when in the sidebar sounds good to me in terms of being like the language
 used for plugins, but Remove also refers to the location (remove from
 sidebar), which I like.

 I think for now making Remove be Delete in the Inactive widget area, and
 having Remove while in a sidebar initiate a move to Inactive Widgets area
 is the simplest thing to do, and we can refine it more maybe after some
 testing.
