I don't know if this new version caused these issues but if you go to configure the settings from the shortcut (not from widget) and get out with out saving, it deletes all configurable widgets off of desktop. I was dumb enough to try it again and this time it only deleted OM weather from desktop but would not allow me to even get into the menu to add short cuts or widgets. I rebooted and the OM weather widget reappears.

Hi John.
This is very important. Please reboot your device and check up it again. If you have similar problems please write to me.
Thanks.
