[X4U] Miscellaneous Dashboard Question

[Milton van der Veen]

You can also disable widgets using the command line as mentioned in  
the following MacOSXHint:

And I have two Automator Actions I found somewhere ... but I can't  
find the source anymore ... that will do the same thing and look  
after restarting the dock. They are APPs that I keep in my dock and  
use as a popup menu. I suppose those who are capable with Automator  
could replicate them but I'll send them to anyone who asks.
