The prefs are actually not stored through shindig, but on the containing
site through the rpc service, for example:

http://www.partuza.nl/js/container.js

see the gadget.rpc.register('set_pref') and setUserPref() function which
does a simple ajax call to the container to store it.

To communicate the prefs to the gadget again, put them on the iframe url
(&up_<key>=<val>) and your done :)

Reason behind it is that the user pref (gadget settings such as 'which
horoscope to display') UI is also a container affair and communicated in the
iframe url; Oh and also don't forget to populate the url with the default
values if nothing has been specifically set yet

Hope that helps!
