One more thing that I just tested: I removed the widget from my code, and tested the same scenario with only templates in my project. I then reverted kidsupport.py to its original state, and the error reappears after I see the refresh statement in my logs. Changing kidusupport.py as I stated above fixes the issue, which leads me to believe that the problem does have something to do with the refresh process.
I'm running the latest svn version of TG on a WinXP SP2 box. Sean
