Thanks for responding Jerome. When I originally submitted the gadget, i had the categories as 'tools' and 'fun&games'. A search of either of these categories turned up my gadget as a result. But then i made the change in the XML and now it does not show up in any category( maybe i should resubmit it?). Therefore i was wondering if someone at Google could kindly get the changes through manually as it seems to be taking forever for it to happen on its own.
