It does indeed have the gadget icon. When I double-click I get a security
warning telling me that the publisher couldn't be verified, so I click
Install. The warning window disappears, but nothing else happens. I've
checked in the "Open With" window and "Windows Sidebar" is selected as the
program to open this type of file.

There's definitely only one page of gadgets displayed.

One other thing I've noticed is that if I copy the .gadget file to my
AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets directory, rename it as a
..zip file and unzip it to a "MyGadget.gadget" directory, the gadget does
then appear in the "Add Gadgets" window. But I'm sure I shouldn't need to do
that...

Any ideas?

Many thanks,
