Yesterday I finally figured out what the problem was.

Apparently Google updated the sanbox recently. I came across a post
(http://igoogledeveloper.blogspot.com/2009/03/sandbox-prods-
along.html) where one can set a HTTP GET parameter to the iGoogle
sandox in order to get a more stable development environment. By
adding the 'force_prod=1' parameter to iGoogle, the problems
disappeared as soon as they shown up. Maybe this sanbox behavior
should be better documented in order to prevent such behavior and long
hours of debugging, because the debugging of this problem was almost
impossible and very frustrating. Using a more stable sandbox version
by default would be appreciated and letting the developers decide to
use a unstable version a logic solution.

Best regards,
M.
