Hi everyone,

I know there has been some confusion around when an account is in the
sandbox and when it isn't. There are a number of reasons. Sometimes
the "Welcome to the iGoogle Developer sandbox" message is obscured.
Sometimes developers are confused about the behavior of the google.com/
ig/sandbox page (which acts as a toggle, not just a redirect). And
sometimes, sandbox features aren't working properly, so even if you
are in the sandbox, it looks like you aren't.

I've written a small gadget: 
http://hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/117067035338337527472/sandbox.xml
to try and provide a little heads up on the sandbox status. If you're
in the sandbox, it lets you know and gives you a quick way to leave.
If you're not, it gives you a quick way to enter (but you still have
to click through the form). And, finally, if it thinks you are in the
sandbox, but features don't seem to be working, it tells you that,
too.

The exact behavior relies on the current rollout of features (and
using the .com TLD), so it will likely need an update down the road as
launches occur. Please test it, add it to your pages, and check the
status message it gives if things aren't working properly. Let me know
if it's not working (but it should).

Thanks,
Dan
