As I keep saying new_wigets() is orthogonal to the syncing.  They are
two totally separate issues.  There's a good solid reason why I didn't
mention any issues with uninitialized widgets in the changelog which is
that this patch is not intended to help with that in any way, it's
intended to stop us wasting our time (and potentially introducing pops
and clicks from bouncing power) performing needless syncs while starting
up.

The syncs that are being suppressed are totally pointless regardless of
anything else.
