[Ham-Mac] Dashboard Widgets

[Sergei Ludanov]

Actually you can drug the widget from Dashboard bar to the desktop  
while holding F12 key and widget will run on desktop rather than in  
Dashboard layer. It will stay there however only until you open  
Dashboard layer again. When you close it widget from the desktop will  
disappear. While on a desktop widget is always top most window.
