I've made a thread about this before but it didn't go anywhere.

Thread

It really needs a lock feature. Every time I start my PC, regardless of whether it's a different resolution than before the reboot, Gadgets in my Google Desktop Sidebar will resize seemingly at random.

They should REALLY make a way to just lock each gadget in place so that it takes up the designated amount of space I've specified.

Well at least they remember the order they're in. I guess that's a start.

I'll just give you a scenario to help you visualise it:

I have 6 gadgets and the search box on it at the moment (weather thing at the top got cut out):

When I restart the news ticker could be only showing 1 and a half News Stories instead of 4, the Hot or Not rating gadget at the bottom will probably be too tiny to see and the Flickr Photo Finder will probably be much bigger than it needs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just wish there was a way to lock it.
