The current implementation of sidebar gadgets includes a very problematic 
design issue. Clicking the 'x' next to the title of the gadget uninstalls 
the gadget. There is no pop-up warning, just bam, gone, uninstalled.

In application design, the 'x' button functions as the "close" button. It 
should *not* uninstall the sidebar gadget. Clearly there is a lack of some 
sort of management panel for sidebar gadgets which would allow the user to 
uninstall the gadget. At the least, there should be a pop-up warning that 
rather than simply "closing" the gadget, it is being uninstalled.

Merely for illustration, in iTunes the 'x' does not even close the 
application, it minimizes to the tray (in Windows). So here we are presented 
with a massive divergence in two instances of the 'x' button, one where it 
minimizes your application to the tray, and the other where it completely 
uninstalls the gadget. Both are questionable design decisions, but the 
uninstall is by far more egregious.
 
Please address this issue.
