I was able to store my own layout manually, though it is arduous.

I first navigated to $HOME/.google/gadgets/options and identified the xml file 
for each individual gadget. The context of the file should make this obvious 
(ie, mention of analog-clock for the retro analog clock; or calls to Google 
Calendar for the calendar gadget).

Change the integer at the bottom of the XML options file for the following 
entity:
 <item name="position_in_sidebar" type="i" internal="1">2</item>

I think setting this to zero lets GGL do its own thing, I don't think it means 
'first'.

Would be nice if we didn't need the workaround, however!

ALSO, kind of important: It's probably a good idea to quit GGL before editing 
any of its files.
