The iGoogle gadget deletion confirmation box displays escaped characters in un-escaped format.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Description of the bug/feature.
==================================
When attempting to delete a maximized gadget in iGoogle, the confirmation
box which is presented to the user displays any un-escaped characters in
their escaped format.

For instance, the title of the gadget I am fixing has a name "AT&T Home
Voicemail". The title appears correctly, however when I elect to delete the
gadget, I am given the following message:

"Are you sure you want to delete "AT&T Home Voicemail"?".

The title of the gadget is displayed correctly.

This does not happen when deleting the gadget and it has not been maximized.

PLEASE FILL OUT THE FOLLOWING FOR A BUG REPORT ONLY:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
======================================
1. In iGoogle open a gadget which has an escaped character in the title.
2. Click on the maximize window icon.
3. Open the gadget's drop down menu and click "Delete this gadget".
4. The confirmation text displays the escaped character which is wrong.

What is the expected output?
============================
I expected the confirmation window to display the gadget title in the
escaped format:

Are you sure you want to delete "AT&T Home Voicemail"?

What is the actual output?
==========================
Are you sure you want to delete "AT&T Home Voicemail"?

Which browsers have you experienced this on?
============================================
Firefox 3.5, IE6, IE7, IE8.

Which operating systems have you experienced this on?
=====================================================
Windows XP - Service pack 3.

Please provide any additional information below.
I've tried setting the title in moduleprefs to use the un-escaped version,
however this breaks the XML (As expected - the documentation states this is
one of the values which has to be escaped.)

I've also tested this with the "<" character, escaped as "&lt;" and it
reproduces for that character as well.

I realize this bug is kind of old but I've tried to reproduce it without 
success on IE and Firefox using a simple gadget with & and < in the title. 
Deleting it from the maximized view shows the expected.

It's possible that there was a bug and it has been fixed. If you're interested 
I'd like to know if you can still reproduce it.

It does appear that this has been fixed as I cannot reproduce the problem. Not 
sure when this was fixed but it's good to see.

Thanks for looking into it.
