Gadget Positioning ("Stay there, damn it!")

Every time I play a game, my computer needs to change resolution. Upon
exiting the program, the window resizes, but any Gadgets i have floating
around (not on the sidebar are scrunched towards the middle of the screen.
They were never moved back to their original positions, which were towards
the borders of my monitor.

I think Gadgets should be smarter and STAY PUT. Yahoo Widgets do that,
shouldn't Gadgets?

RE: Gadget Positioning ("Stay there, damn it!")

I had problems with "moving gadgets" in some of the pre-release versions. Are
you on the current release?

I concur, this was a known and fixed bug in the beta.

I have the same problem. Also, gadgets reposition themselves upon windows
reboot.
