All new desktop widgets are currently positioned in the upper-left corner of the screen. It is very annoying, as they overlap with the Desktop widget which is there by default. Furthermore, adding two widgets in a row creates a mess there.
A widget should be positioned so that it does not overlap with other widgets. Furthermore, it should be, if possible, positioned somewhere in the visible part of the desktop (not under windows), so that the user could immediately notice the widget that was added.
