 * The reason I was looking for a widget that would scroll text was because I wanted
   to have a lot of text in a little space. I have a list of about 100 items that
   I want to display in my right sidebar. If I use a regular text widget it displays
   all of the names but takes up a lot of space.
 * So, a scrolling text widget should have been perfect to solve this problem. However,
   if I add that list to scroll text widget, the widget takes up exactly the same
   space as the non-scrolling widget, except that it looks worse because nothing
   shows but white space and then the names start scrolling from way down at the
   bottom. There should be a setting to specify the height of the widget and the
   text should then scroll though. Everything displays, but it wouldn’t take up 
   so much space. 🙁

 * Is there some way I can control the height via CSS?
