I see the configurations get loaded twice. It caused problems for me in that timer got set up twice. To work around this issue I added a flag to to prevent a second load. Not sure if other devs experienced the same.

I attached 2 stack traces to point this out.

loadConfiguration() can be called several times, it is called every time a user chooses a different configuration in the dropdown list. If you need to do something only once, why not do it in the constructor? In general, the idea is that a gadget when loadConfiguration() is called 1. needs to unload the current configuration if necessary, and 2. load the new configuration. Most gadgets can just overwrite the old configuration variables and then 1. is pretty much nothing.
