10.4: Quickly free up RAM used by Dashboard widgets
Authored by: themacnut on Aug 05, '05 12:23:53PM

This is also a good trick to use to restart a malfunctioning widget as well. Before I saw this hint, when a widget froze up or started giving bad info, a restart would fix it, but I had to either restart the whole system or log out and back in. The inconvenience to either one was obvious and I'd often let the widget sit until I had to restart the system for another reason, like a software update or some recent electrical work I had to do in my house.

It's far more convenient to restart the Dock instead of the whole system. I glad I now know how. Thanks for the hint!
