This turns out to be yet another bug in Windows.  Specifically, the "System" 
library
from the Sidebar API cannot convert the drag-and-drop event for such a "linked
folder" properly, and as a result, the Gadget gets the value "null" when it 
tries to
find out what was passed.

I'll leave this issue open, but until Microsoft fixes the API there is no way 
around
this that I have found.
