Tips

• Note that the dock being used in the Brico pack is `Object Dock`; it is notorious for massive memory usage (this may have changed). Try other docks such as Rk Launcher or Y'z Dock for reduced memory usage.
• An alternative to Yahoo's Widget Engine is Samurize http://www.samurize.com/modules/news/
