The problem seems to exist for any gadget that uses UserPrefs. The easiest way to duplicate the issue is to 1. pick a gadget that uses UserPrefs (any gadget you find in the directory will work) 2. add it to you iGoogle page 3. edit the settings so that they are something other than the defaults 4. share the gadget with a friend, make sure you click the box that says "send my settings" at the bottom of the sharing box. Note that you can either send the gadget via email or copy and paste the URL. The problem occurs either way. If you check, the URL is properly formed according to how the docs would have you do it.

But the problem is definitely occurring for gadgets syndicated on external sites.
