Why is onUpdate() called for my widgets even though I have a configuration activity?

As far as I can tell, if I have defined a configuration activity for my widget then onUpdate should not be called when it is first created. It would be the configuration activity's responsibility to perform the initial configuration of the widget.

Why is it then that I still get calls to onUpdate in the widget provider, and after that call the configuration activity is started. If I cancel the configuration activity I get no visible widget on the home screen. If I have cancelled a widget configuration (by pressing back in the configuration activity) and reinstall the APK all the widgets, including the cancelled ones, each gets mentioned in calls to onUpdate.

Surely this shouldn't be so. And if it is, then how do I get rid of the widgets that was cancelled during configuration.

I'm running my code on the emulator with Android 1.6.
