Possible to make a gadget non-removable and non-toggable?

[Martin Webb <ma...@gmail.com>]

There is nothing in the gadget spec to support a gadget author specifying
that a gadget can't be removed or can't be toggled.  Should there be a
common way of expressing this (perhaps with a whitelist of supported gadgets
that the container will honour such requests)?  I can see a need for
container developers wanting to specify that certain gadgets are fixed on
certain views/tabs.

A container certainly can and would want this behavior, but there really
isn't much we can do about it in Shindig, since it's very container
specific, and isn't something gadget authors would have any say in anyway.
If you can think of something reusable, it might make sense to put it in the
sample container directory.
