Nice to see the HUD/Konspose bug fixed. That was a drag. The Yahoo Widget Engine team needs to work on quality control.

And why "Yahoo Widget Engine?" Flickr hasn't become "Yahoo Photo Sharing Portal." Very strange.

Anyhow, it works, it works well, and it does things that Dashboard doesn't. If you're new to YWE/Konfabulator, I recommend you browse the widget gallery, see if there's anything that looks useful, and try out those widgets.

Finally, some much needed fixes - graffix

I think the main reason they changed the name is 'Konfabulator' is a pretty nonsensical name, and most people will have no idea what it is, or what it does. At least 'Flickr' is well-known enough that most people associate it with 'Flicks', the slang term for photos.

At least that's my educated guess...
