Surely, 'widget' in action.scm is type of widget such as GtkWidget,
QWidget, etc. But the coverage of the word 'widget' is more broad. In
other words, 'widget' in action.scm is included in ordinaly word
definition of widget, but the contrary is not truth. 

IMO different thing should have a different name. As the different name,
ui-unit is not bad. Simply 'ui' is not bad, too. It reminds me of
GtkUIManager. (GtkUIManager was similar this model).
