boudreaux: Perhaps K2 is having trouble because if it’s built-in modules system that replaces widgets?

I’d try getting another theme you know to support widgets to test with, as a sort of “independent” study. ??

You didn’t hang around #wordpress long enough.

You have to specify the number of arguments your function accepts (4th parameter for add_action):

add_action(‘wp_authenticate’, ‘my_function’, 10, 2);

Bingo: it works.

I don’t care for those links items either, but I think you’re all missing the point here. These are just RSS feeds from all their individual blogs, aggregated in your dashboard. How do you propose that the issue be resolved?

Should they filter any headline that starts with “links”? Think about false positives there… Should they just allow you to add / remove feeds from the Dashboard? That kinda defeats the point of having it there (ie: providing recent WordPress-related news). Does anyone have a brilliant idea for solving the problem?
