The "Storage" widget is pretty naff. Have you seen the "Segmented bar"
used in Rhythmbox (in C), Banshee (in C#) and probably other places?

Build rhythmbox, and you'll see a test widget in:
widgets/test-rb-segmented-bar

It's non-trivial, but there would be very few users for it. A good
cut'n'paste widget?
