Interesting, I didn't realize that's what the Googley Eyes gadget did. I
have to warn you that _IG_AddDOMEventHandler is certainly not a standard
part of the gadgets.* spec, so it's likely only to work on iGoogle (and I
can't say how long it'll be there for).
It may be interesting to propose a gadgets.addParentEventHandler method or
something to the spec group to make this more general.
