How to add preferences option to custom dashboard gadget/widget menu?

Hi,

Some of the out of the box dashboard widgets contain an additional "settings" option in the menu. This allows widget settings to persist between browser sessions. How can I add a "settings" option to the menu in a custom dashboard widget?

Thanks,

Dan

It turns out I was missing the "UserPrefs" section in the widget xml. Information here: https://developers.google.com/gadgets/docs/xml_reference#user-preferences

Now "Settings" appears in the menu.

It's all about the answers!
