This is really bad. My development server uses port 8080 and suffers
the same fate, only I can't just remove the port number from the URL.
I can manually add gadgets with the URL to the gadget definition on
8080, but if you try to add via a URL, or share them within igoogle
using iGoogles own links, I get the LabPixies Calculator instead.

Google has done a very, very thorough job of making iGoogle
development difficult. I think I will pull the plug on my iGoogle
development efforts and develop for all the other widget containers
instead.
