You have to differ between the \…penalty command which come
from Knuths TeX and \…penalties which are introduced with etex.
While Knuths command accept only a single value (e.g. \widowpenlty=1000)
the new commands accepts multiple values which are taken for individual
lines of a paragraph (e.g. \widowpenalties 3 3000 4500 9000).
The \setpenalties command simplifies the setups of the new commands.
The reason why \widowpenalties doesn’t work with \setpenalties is that
no command with this names exist (I never checked this for my example
in the past). A penalties command wouldn’t even make sense because
the penalty prevents only the page break after a hyphen.
