[wp-hackers] Possible to deactivate Dashboard-Widgets?

[Frank Bueltge]

Yes, this is a possibility.
A i think this not a good idea. Example: the widget Quickpress give
the users rights to write a post and maybe i dont like this. Also load
you with this possibility all code and the you deactivate via css.
WIth a little bid informatin about firebug oder Webdeveloper-toolbar
in Firefox it is possible to active the widgets.
