This is a problem I was facing and that had to be creative (and count with
your help) to solve.  The alternative was passing a parameter at instantiation
time that allowed me to inform something to the widget so that I can "find" it
later.

This something usually overrides the auto-generated id... 

It would be great if the widget id was also available as a class attribute
from the widget... :-)
