to test out what comes from _args i inserted this into my gadget...

for(var param in _args()) {
var value = _args()[param];
  //html.push(param);
  html.push(value);
  html.push('<br>');
}

...and then later in the gadget i do this..
 var tableDiv = _gel('tablediv');
tableDiv.innerHTML = html.join('');

...the parameters i get back are just these...
mid
synd
url
h
w

...url is the url of the gadget unfortunately!
