Ok, I realize now that there is an issue with the reboot and the setting resetting itself to 1. I did not take the reboots into account. Stupid me. Luckily changing that is simple to do, I need to utilize gconf and read the setting from there during reboot. I'll add that to my to-do list.

I have not experienced the disappearing shortcuts when changing the settings. I have seen the widgets and shortcuts disappear sometimes on my device as well, but unrelated to my widget (on that device the widget was not installed). But I have to check that as well.

I have to install the siggy widget widget myself to see what could be the cause for this. Dependencies is a good guess.

Now the bad news.
I will not check these out until next week when I get back from my skiing trip. Hopefully you can wait... Pretty please...
