Testing on Panther (OS X 10.3.9) and Tiger (OS X 10.4.11) show that Y!WE 4.5 breaks the ability of The Widgets Widget to open or close widgets. It seems to be working properly on Windows.

v2.39 is available on the author's website. It adds a Dock icon and corrects an incompatibility with the Mac version of Y!WE 4 so that groups will open and close properly.

There may be a significant delay before this version is available in the Gallery.

I like the idea of your widget, and I would like to help figure out this problem if I can. Please help. More

I am having the same problem. The Widgets Widget closes the other widgets but shows an error message when I try to open them again. I am using XP with only SP1. I have used the DCOMbobulator program from grc.com (I don't know if that matters). My firewall is Outpost. Here is the debugging info:
