I just got a chance to take a closer look at this, and it now seems
that the user prefs for an RSS feed are now generated at the time that
"Edit Settings" is clicked. So my code that replaces this content
doesn't work anymore. Bummer. But, I'm hacking it in, so that's the
game, I guess.

Question - is it still possible to re-cache inline gadgets? If so, I
will update my gadget so it works again. Otherwise, I'll just keep
working on the GreaseMonkey implementation. Unfortunately, since most
people don't have GreaseMonkey, doing it that way will really limit
its potential audience.

This still frustrates me. I think it would require a design change to
allow for longer user prefs, but until then some things will continue
to fail silently because url's are too long.
