This situation can be handled entirely via javascript via the  
following pseudocode:

document.observe('load', allWidgetsLoaded());

function allWidgetsLoaded() {
     if ([check for existence of all needed elements]) {
         [code done after all widgest loaded]
     } else {
         allWidgetsLoaded.defer();
     }
}
