This sounds similar to
http://code.google.com/p/igoogle-developers/issues/detail?id=5 . We're
looking in to the issue. I understand the frustration (I rely on
developer.xml too) but a work-around that I've used successfully is to add
&nocache=1 to the gadget iframe src attribute.
If you're comforable with the Firebug console or Chrome developer tools
console, a quick one-liner that can help during your development cycle is
something like:
f="14";s=document.getElementById("remote_iframe_"+f).src;s=s.split("/ifr?");document.getElementById("remote_iframe_"+f).src=s[0]+"/ifr?nocache=1&"+s[1]
but replace the 14 with the number that appears after remote_iframe_ for
your gadget's iframe (which changes between different users & gadgets).
Instead of refreshing the page after each change, hit up arrow & enter in
the console. Also note that the line will keep adding nocache parameters but
that doesn't hurt.
I hope this helps a little.
