  You can show/hide widgets on different parts of your blog. For instance:

  body.home li#text-1 {
display:none;
}

  This rule will hide the Text 1 widget on your blog’s home page. Every kind of page has a body class; every widget has an ID and/or classes.

  so since Sandbox already displays pages as a menu, perhaps the thing to do for blogs with lots of subpages is to set
  li#pages { display:none } for everything except body.page

  Or you could set Widgets in both sidebars and simply leave out the pages list.

  As a reference for users, there is a « Home link that appears on pages that are not the home: li.home-link. Also, by default the meta information (login, register, etc.) only appears on the home page, li.meta-links.

  Thanks for sharing this great idea, Andy.
