Hi Darren, You might want to take a look at the OpenSocial Explore [1]r for a decent example. To listen for when the gadget changes its own preferences you want to pass a function into the container config for osapi.container.ContainerConfig.SET_PREFERENCES. When the user changes the gadgets preferences in the containers UI you basically just have to rerender the gadget passing the new preferences in the navigate call. See the listener added in the startup method of the GadgetArea class of the OpenSocial Explorer for an example how we do it there. It will be different for every container though.
