Sneak peek: Dashboard enhancements in OS 10.4.2

Apple Insider reports on a rumored feature of the upcoming 10.4.2 update of Tiger, namely a Dashboard manager. Since Dashboard's introduction, a number of third party widget managers have sprung up. According to Apple Insider, "...the 'More Widgets' button [currently] located to the far right of the Dashboard dock has been renamed 'Manage Widgets.' Instead of scrolling the dock to reveal the next dozen or so widgets installed on the user's system, the function launches a completely new widget manager that itself resembles a widget."

This is good news, as navigating to where the widgets live is not fun. I'm rather addicted to downloading and installing widgets just to see what they do, and the result is a pile of widgets I'll only ever launch once. A built-in feature like this would be most welcome.
