Comment:

 > In the Dashboard it isn't obvious that widgets can be removed from it
 via Screen options

 How about instead of adding yet another button to (some) widgets, the fact
 that the screen can be customized and widgets can be shown, hidden, moved
 around, opened, closed, etc. is made more discoverable? Thinking this
 would be more beneficial than "cluttering" the widgets top bars with more
 and more buttons (the three existing buttons are somewhat confusing as is,
 with the different shape arrows) :)
