Sorry for late reply. Current Google Gadgets for Linux implementation does not 
save 
session cookies, so it's not possible to remember the login information. I'm 
not sure 
if it's easy to support it.

The Google Mail and Reader gadgets seem to remember my login between sessions: 
is this 
different to the iGoogle gadget?

They are Desktop Gadgets, different than iGoogle gadgets.

How do the desktop gadgets store the session? Would it be possible to give the
iGoogle Desktop Gadget access to this cookie store?
