Isn't this by design? Users would be dragging widgets to place on their desktop; the widget explorer shouldn't close on them during that process. (i.e., they click on the background after dragging a widget onto it)<br>
This would require users to specifically avoid clicking on the desktop area, and there's no obvious usability reason for this.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
