"A desktop full of handy widgets to tell you about what's going on in the world and what's going on around your computer. This is Jackfield. Jackfield is an application for the Gnome desktop that plays host to widgets; small applications to do the things you need. It can run widgets from Apple's Dashboard, will eventually be able to run those from Yahoo's Widget Engine, Microsoft's Gadget Sidebar, and Opera Widgets, and you can write your own."

How can you say it's desktop space consuming when it RUNS BEHIND THE SCENES. You bring it up when you need to see something, and then ship is back to nowhere when you're done. There isn't any screen real estate taken up by these things. Have you ever even used dashboard??
There are plenty of usees of these widgets for many different people. I've never heard such an uproar over an option/upgrade to something. It's like adding an attenea to a car when there are a few people who don't listen to the radio!! Grow up

I hate dashboard. No matter how it is implemented. No matter the set of features. This is useless and desktop space consuming. period.
