Hi
I'm looking for a steer around preferences.
Shindig seems to work like this:
Set: I found that if I called Gadgets.Prefs.set from my gadget it made an rpc 
call to the container for the set_pref handler but on the way set the 
Gadgets.Prefs values in the gadget. Calling my  setUserPref method directly in 
the container obviously did not do this.
Get: gadgets.Prefs.getString() (for example) will look in the prefs object and 
if that is not set will get the default_value.
Taking this as a base it would seem that the main thing that needs to be added 
is to set the Gadgets.Prefs values both at page load and when setUserPref is 
called from my edit settings block. 
iGoogle seems to implement this differently:
Set: saves it to the backend and modifies the iframe url parameters.Get: gets 
it from the url parameters.
So the difference seems to be - should we store the Prefs values a) in the 
Gadgets.prefs object or b) on the url?
I'm really looking for advice if I'm on the right track and what anyone 
recommends.
Thanks
Justin
