A simple widget that restarts the Dock (and thus closes open Dashboard widgets) when clicked. Useful if you can't bear the thought of widgets eating up system resources in the background, but don't want to disable Dashboard outright.

You can go directly to a tag by searching for 'tag:yourtag'. You can also search within the apps tagged with that word by adding another word. For example 'tag:browser plugin'.

Or, you could simply use this AppleScript:
tell application "Dock"
quit
launch
end tell
The Dock restarts, Dashboard will reactivate on hotkey or corner.
