I think a blacklist makes most sense here. While it's technically not the most 
beautiful solution, it should be doable. Also:

- when installing extra applications / applets, they should be added to the 
widgets explorer, which won't happen with a whitelist, so a blacklist is safer 
here

Same goes for applications.
