Where's my Gmail Contextual Gadget?

Several months ago we posted a screenshot of a neat little gmail gadget that pulls Vtiger customer info directly into your Inbox.

If the sender of a message is already in your database, you can immediately see his contact info, existing invoices, events, emails linked in vtiger, etc.

Or you can create a new record right from Gmail.

We've been using it since then, and it's invaluable. Why can't you get it?

We need to make the gadget use Single-sign-on, meaning that if you're logged into Google, Vtiger knows you're authorized. It's a little ridiculous for anything that's not in the cloud (and vtiger is not), but Google said so, so we're doing it.

Some glitch at Google has been rejecting my updates for weeks. If I can't submit updates, I can test them either and so here we are. I'm trying to resolve this with what time I have, so you can get access to this very cool gadget. We'll see...
