That's true, they do keep running until you close them. You can see
them in the activity monitor.

I think it is better to close them anyway. After all, from what
someone told me in the store, the dashboard widgets keep on running
otherwise at startup. It's best to run them as and when you need them.

Actually the ***Voice Over command*** mentioned (VO-Command-F2)
DOES work to close both windows and widgets... After pressing
these keys, Voice Over asks you "Close window (or widget)? Return
yes, Escape no."
Remember, closing widgets, though, removes them from the
Dashboard. If you just want to close the Dashboard, cycle to a
different application using Command-Tab.
To select a different widget, use the Voice Over Application menu
(VO- F1F1).
I also want to remind everyone that the Voice Over Commands menu
(VO- HH) will bring up a list of all possible keystrokes at that
moment in time and what they will do... In this list, you will
find the Command "Close Window Command F2." Remember, you have to
add the VO keys, so Command-F2 is really Control-Option-Command-F2.
Hope this helps...
Lou.

Would be nice if you could close anything with the same keystroke
(command+w
would be a great choice). My brain has a limited number of slots
for keyboard
shortcuts ...
You use command option control f2 to close widgets. You may
also have
to press fn if you have a laptop and depending on how you have
fn set.

Wow that's obscure! Anyone know how to cycle through open widgets
in the
dashboard?
