Not really, how about putting each of your core widgets and the text widget
inside a form which is inside the viewport.  I suspect that the problem that
you are having is that the viewport does not know how to deal with
more than one child.  Thus you need another composite widget between 
the viewport and the children.  In this case a Form or Box widget will
work quite well.

See my earlier message about this.
