I have been developing a plugin to remove the widgets on the dashboard in WP 2.8.4, you should just be able to add the id's of the widgets you want to remove in the do_meta_boxes function.

add_action('do_meta_boxes', array(&$this, 'do_meta_boxes'),10,3);

function do_meta_boxes($type, $context, $post)
{
remove_meta_box('dashboard_quick_press', $type, $context);
}

That's true, but this hack is useful, if you're running on plugins crash-diet.

The widget items are damn annnoying. :(

They increase the loading time of such an important page.

And making modifications can be useless as one would forget about making them. So upon an automatic upgrade to the latest version of WordPress...the widget items come back to haunt you. :(
