 There are many problems with the current widgets UI.  One is that it is
 unclear that you have to click the global "Save" button after changing
 individual widgets.

 Attached for consideration:
  1. After you make a change to a widget for the first time, display a
 warning that you have to save.
  2. When you try to leave the page without saving, ask for confirmation.
  3. Change action-sounding "Change" button in individual widgets to more
 passive "Done".

 This is a band-aid.  Not a real solution.
