 * I’m trying to add widgets to my sidebar. I can drag and drop them, then click
   to expand and change configuration. But when I click save, I get the spinning
   wheel and it just hangs. The changes are never committed. The remainder of the
   admin functions continue to work; its just the widgets that I cannot modify and
   save. Thoughts?

 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems.
