Userprefs saved on gadgets imported to Blogger are overridden by default_value(s) in the <iframe> srource URL.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Description of the bug/feature, or alias/deletion request. (For aliases use
the form old_url => new_url. For deletions, just list the URLs.)
==================================

When adding an iGoogle gadget to a blogger layout, userprefs are saved but
the containing iframe url will contain both the saved userpref and the
userpref default_value.

e.g. If the user saves #000000 for userpref my_color and the default_value
is #FFFFFF, the iframe srouce url will contain both &my_color=#000000 and
&#FFFFFF.

When rendered, the second value (default) in the url is used by the gadget
and the first user's saved value is ignored.

PLEASE FILL OUT THE FOLLOWING FOR A BUG REPORT ONLY (delete everything
below this line for a feature, alias, or deletion request):

In terms of a cost/benefit ratio, this has got to be a really good thing to fix 
--
chances are it would only take a small change to a line or two of code, and it 
would
immediately add a lot of functionality, not to mention make a few people 
considerably
less angry...

Are you still experiencing this issue? This isn't the best place for reporting
Blogger issues, but I can try and track down someone to help if you're still
experiencing problems.

I'm not able to reproduce this today (with a fresh install of the gadget).  Are 
you seeing 
this with newly installed gadgets?  Do you have an existing test blog that 
shows the 
issue?  http://holygrail3columnrounded.blogspot.com/ looks okay at the moment.

This was fixed a while ago by my contacts at the Blogger team.  Admins please 
close
this as fixed.

"Hello there,

Just wanted to follow-up on th bug report you ssubmitted about gadget prefs
(http://code.google.com/p/igoogle-legacy/issues/detail?id=528&colspec=ID%20Type%
20Stars%20Summary%20Status)

We fixed the bug from on our, but I was wondering if you wouldn't take a moment 
and
verify the fix since you made the original report? Let me know if things seems 
fixed
or still when trying to reproduce.

Much thanks!

-Gatsby"

Thanks for the responses.

I have found an existing bug documented on the Blogger Dev Google Group that 
must be
what I'm experiencing.

For reference, that is here:
