I would have thought that it was going to do something in this way by now - in fact when I first saw the new ad on the xara.com site and saw the uppercase W on one of the buttons, I "saw" wordpress, but it actually says "widgets", unfortunately.

I think you are right pauland...design time (which is welcome) but not "dynamically" like Wordpress or Joomla (my primary tool these days, using Xara products for the graphics, of course).
