i actually played with this on the flight to tokamak last week. i think it's 
possible. it will need a fair amount of work, but it should be doable. as an 
extra bonus, this will also make the dashboard perform a lot better as we 
won't be drawing the widgets twice when the dashboard is up, but only once.

i'll take another run at this later in the week and post a patch ... for the 
non-compositing scenario, it can just fall back to what we're doing now pretty 
easily.
