Can you try modifying the gadget to be type="url"? Since the gadget is just 
loading
an iframe, type="url" should do everything you need.

I have not done anything but it seems the gadget came back alive. Probably 
caching
problem. I did make some tweak on the xml renaming the gadget name. That's 
probably
causing it. I did try using URL but it requires href. But Thanks for the 
response! :)
