Widget watch: Disable Dashboard

Here's a seemingly oxymoronic Dashboard widget. The Disable Dashboard widget does just that - one click and Dashboard quits. The widget's author, Natal Vande Casteele, writes: "It’s been commented elsewhere that running “killall dock” and never launching the Dashboard basically has the same effect. This is true but I prefer to disable the Dashboard altogether to prevent accidentally starting it up."

He also notes that it's probably a good idea to remember to re-enable Dashboard before installing any system updates. You can use his Disable & Enable Dashboard Utility for his purpose.
