I guess its cool. but I am not a fan of the dashboard. I can just as easily go to php.net and search for functions.. Was just doing this today...

that'd be very handy, so long as you drag it to the active desktop via click/hold+F12 then release.

I have my iStat Pro widget sitting pretty on my second monitor, was pretty much useless on just the dashboard, but very handy on the desktop

another way this is accomplished is through Amnesty

Amnesty Widget Browser

gives you the same widget 'amnesty' (haha, get it!?) as the click/hold trick, just with more fancy management options.

also has a nice little entry on the menu bar
