In case "widget" in this context means desktop widget you should also consider 
to subscribe to plasma-devel [1]

P.S.: I had a quick look at the Zeitgeist sources and I am missing the D-Bus 
introspection files for the daemon's standard interfaces. D-Bus bindings for 
statically typed languages usually use a code generator approach to create D-
Bus proxies, so having such a file as the "official" interface specification 
is usually a good idea.
