Pre-load dashboard

I was wondering if it was possible o have Leopard pre-load the dashboard at login to save the second or two delay that occurs when I try to open the dashboard the first time.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.1), White, 2.2GHz, Santa Rosa

Did you try adding it to your login items?

I set dashboard up to load at startup. But it actually pops up and comes to the fore. I set dashboard up in Login Items checked as both Hidden and non-Hidden.

I want Dashboard to load in the background, not in the fore. Is this possible?

The solution loaded dashboard in the forefront, which is not desirable as I don't need the dashboard at start up. I just want the dashboard pre-loaded, not fully loaded and visible at start up.

Sounds like you need 'Dashboard KickStart'
