As of r544 there is a way to filter the default widgets using the 
thematic_preset_widgets filter *but* the Problem listed 
here cannot be solved by using this filter.

I have reproduced this problem many times with thematic and with child theme's 
of thematic. Quite annoying actually. The 
solution I'm proposing is simple enough but I believe it needs to happen in 
thematic. 

In widget-extensions.php the conditional for update_options('sidebars_widgets') 
needs to be adjusted to check to see if 
any values exists that is to say it needs to check to see if the user has made 
any edits to the widget arrangement.

Example:

    if ( isset( $_GET['activated'])  && get_option( 'sidebars_widgets') == FALSE ) {
        update_option( 'sidebars_widgets', apply_filters('thematic_preset_widgets',$preset_widgets ));
        }

Thanks-
Gene

I believe that I am right in that the original poster's desire to filter the 
default widgets was addressed but was 
wrong about the revision it was not 544 

It is resolved in r554 

 I will start a new issue. For the second part of my message above.
