Well, what you are saying makes sense. I understand the words, and I
think the thought. BUT, since installation of the OS, NONE of the
Dashboard Widgets have even so much as been looked at!!

Ahhh!!!! Then the next question --- How to 'disable' Dashboard?
Notice what I said:
"Unless you have explicitly disabled Dashboard, with a tool such as
OnyX"
Perhaps the idea there would be to run ONYX and click the box that
says to disable Dashboard.
OnyX has been discussed many many times in these LEM lists...

But I still wonder just what was trying to run?
*Every* widget you had enabled in Dashboard was running. That's how
Dashboard works - it runs everything that has been enabled. All the
time. If the widgets are good, they sit idle, simply sucking up
memory but not cpu. If they're evil, they poll for data or input,
sucking up both memory and cpu.
