Running a dashboard widget in Dashcode

When I 'Run' a dashboard widget in Dashcode, it flashes and disappears. Activity Monitor says a DashboardClient is active but I cannot find the widget anywhere. The system log reports 'DashboardClient[897]: error [1001] setting colorSpace to iMac colorspace'. Is something missing? Is there something missing in my environment?

iMac (20-inch Early 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.5)

I forgot to mention that I was working on the first tutorial example. I have tried other widgets with the same results.

FWIW: I discovered that the version of Dashcode that I was using (V 3.0.5) is for Mountain Lion, but I'm still running Lion. I downloaded version 3.0.4 and it solved the problems. I'll keep version 3.0.5 for when I download Mountain lion.
