"The Dashboard will display both Google Gadgets and XWiki Gadgets (Panels)" so IMO I don't see a problem that the Panels could hold Google Gadgets as well. The thing is that we need to think about the functional duplication of the Panel Wizard and the new Dashboard.
would it be nice / implementable to be able to add Gadgets in the Panels?
Do you mean add Google Gadgets to side menus? If so, I think users should be able to do that also. Seems helpful

Yes, we need to think about the interface for (Gadgets&XWiki) Gadgets Directory and Panel Wizard.
What would their roles be? Their content? (One would add Google Gadgets/Panels to Dashboard macros, the other to side menus...)
Is one interface enough for Dashboard Gadgets and Panels? If so, how would it look like?
Also, should the Gadgets Directory support adding gadgets to any Dashboard macro in any page, or just to personal dashboard?
