Having done some research, I found command-option-control+= toggles the
widget bar on and off in dashboard and command+r runs a selected widget's
image. Also interestingly, java-ui widgets according to one writer appear
inaccessible that was Thomas Carson over on accessibility-dev. He didn't
make mention of using the java access bridge package though so unless that
was made specifically for jfw he might have some luck trying it.

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.
