10.4: Detach widgets from the Dashboard

In order for the widget to stay on your desktop after you switch to the Dashboard and back, you have to open it in Dashboard first, THEN drag it to the desktop by grabbing it and pushing F12.

If you drag it from the widget list at the bottom of Dashboard directly to the desktop, it'll disappear from the desktop next time you switch to Dashboard and back.
