It starts as soon as MediaBox reports it.

At the moment MediaBox doesn't support track seeking via D-Bus as I understand.

Yep. It's bug, I'm working on it. It's all because hildon-desktop isn't informing properly, if widget is on current desktop. Perhaps, it's bug in python bindings for hildon-desktop. And no working example of how it can be fixed in apps can be found.

It can be related only to the bug with play/pause. I'm testing widget with MediaBox 2010.07.24

Or keep on using D-Bus with byte/string representation of image. It's up to pycage

What do you think?
About FM Radio: I don't listen to radio, in fact ))) But why not, just because it was there (for N800) some time ago
Integrating widget... Don't know. I always suggest to keep the app and the add-ons to it as standalone things, to keep modules, 'cause not every user needs all the stuff.
