 * Thanks.

 * There’s no “reset” option. Just drag and drop the widgets in your sidebar until
   you have the arrangement that you want.

 * Well, the reason I want to reset is so I can see what the default layout would
   look like without having to create 1000 test accounts.
 * Oh well, guess I’ll make one and just be careful to never drag anything on it.
 * Thanks.
