Yes. It is annoying. But then I'm still of the mind that they should  
all be separate programs. Not only do I like the "separate programs"  
paradigm better, I really don't like the idea that I can't kill a  
widget easily if needed. I really don't understand why the code that  
potentially has the most bugs was tied to a bit of the OS (the Dock)  
that really needs to be bug free and I would consider to be a  
critical part of the OS.

The only thing I really like about Dashboard is the new programming  
capabilities it allows (writing apps in Javascript and HTML for  
instance). The rest seems to old-school Desk Accessory to me.
