Rob - Thanks. This is great info. I used your method of populating an iframe from javascript in an html gadget and that works well. I am not able to get the "required" attribute on UserPrefs to force the Edit Preferences screen to come up, but that may be a container- specific issue. I'm writing my gadget to host inside Atlassian JIRA (ticketing system) so I'll see if they can help with that part.
