I would like to use the word 'widget' instead of 'ui-unit'. How
do you feel it?

widget
n.
   1. A small mechanical device or control; a gadget.


Although we are familiar with 'window gadget' rather than above
definition, the difference will not cause problems.

 2. [possibly evoking "window gadget"] In graphical user
    interfaces, a combination of a graphic symbol and some
    program code to perform a specific function. E.g. a
    scroll-bar or button. Windowing systems usually provide
    widget libraries containing commonly used widgets drawn in a
    certain style and with consistent behaviour.
