I was wondering if anybody had a solution to this problem which involves placing a widget onto a particular Space on the desktop, I have tried opening the widgets folder when Spaces is activated to add it to a particular space but it does not recognize it. I would have thought that a solution to this would be available, but having searched the internet for any 3rd party app or solution I have found it very difficult to get any answers. I just want something that that allows me to work on different Spaces without having a widget appear all the time, except in an allocated space on my desktop.....

Can you already get a widget on your desktop? I know you can hold something shift+click+drag up or something to bring it to desktop...but not sure what the method was.

Would think that you could then go to the space you want it on and do that, but not sure.

Try Geek Tool...It's nifty.

You can enable Dashboard's developer mode, but dragged out widgets will appear on all spaces, not just one
