A hand way of putting a 'Widget' on your Desktop...
...This is really a debugging feature for those of us that like to write our own 'Widgets'.
Open Terminal...
Type
Now you have to restart Dashboard to make it recognize the new settings, Dashboard is part of the Dock application so you have to quit the Dock...
In Terminal
Type
The Dock should then vanish, but don't worry the Dock will then start right back up !
Now for the fun bit...
Activate the Dashboard...then click and hold one of your Widget's (don't let go of the mouse/trackpad button !)
Now de-activate the DashBoard (F12 as long as you haven't changed the default !)
Now when you see the normal Desktop again you can let go of the button...
...if you want any more on your Desktop just repeat the process !
...to turn off
