 > Do we really need to use output buffering and echos here?

 No. I was desperately trying to get get_comments() in instead of querying
 the database directly, so to respond to the above criticism I just copied
 the recent posts widget almost exactly.  (Recent posts, the calendar, and
 various chunks of the admin use the output buffering trick).

 How about a patch that builds the HTML for recent comments as well as
 recent posts, so we're somewhat consistent?
