There is a very easy way to drag multiple widgets off the dashboard permanently. Go into terminal; type:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES
Log out, and log back in. Open dashboard, drag a widget either from the widget bar, or the dashboard, press F12, and let go. Give it a couple seconds, and when you go back to the dashboard, notice it’s stuck to the desktop. You can do this repeatedly, so you have multiple widgets sitting on your screen at all times. It even stays on the screen through logging off and on. To close, just click and hold the widget, press F12, and place it back on the dashboard.
Mesa Dynamics has a shareware application that does the same thing, and is also compatible with Panther.
