Does anyone know how to do the following? I've got a custom gadget that I want 
to link to itself while passing an ID to view more details on that item. This 
gadget is using the views feature. Currently on the home/default view 
(http://localhost:8000/dashboard) there is a link that makes a call to 
requestNavigateTo:

gadgets.views.requestNavigateTo('canvas',{'id':'1234'})

This redirects the page to 
http://localhost:8000/dashboard?view=canvas&gadget=9&appParams={}<http://localhost:8000/dashboard?view=canvas&gadget=9&appParams=%7b%7d>
 which is mostly correct except for no params seem to be passed to the gadget. 
I've had to override the getUrlForView to get the url to form correctly:
gadgets.IfrGadgetService.prototype.getUrlForView = function(
    view) {
  return '/dashboard?view='+view;
}

Along with modifying requestNavigateTo to pass the gadget param:

gadgets.IfrGadgetService.prototype.requestNavigateTo = function(view,
    opt_params) {
  var id = gadgets.container.gadgetService.getGadgetIdFromModuleId(this.f);
  var url = gadgets.container.gadgetService.getUrlForView(view);
  url += '&gadget='+id;  //customization

  if (opt_params) {
    var paramStr = gadgets.json.stringify(opt_params);
    if (paramStr.length > 0) {
     url += '&appParams=' + encodeURIComponent(paramStr);
    }
  }

  if (url && document.location.href.indexOf(url) == -1) {
    document.location.href = url;
  }
};

I'm trying to pull the params a number of ways including:
gadgets.views.getParams()
gadgets.util.getUrlParameters()

My question is how do I go about passing a view parameter through to the gadget?

We're currently using Shindig 1.1 Beta 5.

Many thanks,
Jason
