Can anyone tell me an easy way to transfer my dashboard widgets from one OS X computer to another? If there was a way to keep their positioning/settings too that would be great.

Widgets are saved at
/Library/Widgets/and/Users/[user]/Library/Widgets/If you copy
/Users/[user]/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dashboard.plistthat will copy your Dashboard configuration.Each widget will have it's own configuration file in
/Users/[user]/Library/Preferences/, for examplewidget-com.apple.widget.weather.plist
