How do I deploy a BIRT report as a dashboard widget?

I searched for this earlier and found this thread. I recreated the report as a micro report as suggested and followed the instructions to edited the process template to create a custom report widget. While, the widget does technically work, the widget displays a "no results found" message. If I click on the widget title itself, I'm redirected to the page that contains the Bar graph that displays the correct information. My question: is there some way to display that bar graph on the widget itself, without having to click on the widget and be forced to navigate to another page?
