When using dashboard to show widgets, right-click (desktop) actions are not available. I'm not sure if this is in the intended behaviour (I can understand if it were, since the 'Dashboard is not a Desktop') but it means related actions such as aligning icons and locking widgets are not available. This means to do this you need to exit the Dashboard, get back to the Desktop and do it there.

Seems clunky. I'm wont specify a suggested solution as I'm unsure of the intention here, I'll leave it up to the people that know :)

Thanks.
