well, you're in luck!

just press [shift] while you click on one of the widgets and Blender will constrain to the OTHER two axis...

this made me very happy when i found out about it...

Wonderful!

If you press S,G or R you enter these modes with widgets activated, but if you press SS, GG or RR you enter the old transformation mode.

I think it's faster this way.

This is exactly how it is. Try!

I can't seem to figure out how to get the new "widgets" to show up! I've tried changing the value in the rt setting to no avail. Can anyone offer some help? Much thanks!!

Been trying out the rotation widgets a little more, and I'm actually leaning more in favor of 2.

Do as Bellorum has shown you.

To get each widget to show, press G for the grab widget, R for the rotate widget and S for the scale widget.

Is there any way to change the orientation for the widget in local mode? Like so I could set the Z-axis to be at a slight angle, for uses in objects sliding at angles, and not having to aproximately guess by using a planar constraint.

I'd have to say I vote for rt:2 rotation widget.
