Currently there isn't a standard way of doing this, and perhaps
someone from one of the other containers can elaborate more on how
they implement it, but the Orkut model has been to pass a querystring
parameter called "parent" to the iframe containing the gadget.

In Orkut you can retrieve this using _args()["parent"].  It will be
the base url of the current container - "http://sandbox.orkut.com";
currently.

I have a feature request logged to get this into the OpenSocial API.
It's going to be quite important once multiple containers begin going
live.
