I created a very basic widget and deployed it to my emulator.  After deploying,
I try to pull up the list of Widgets so I can add it, and it results in the
Settings application crashing:

I'm attaching a sample project for reproducing the problem.  Basically, it's
just a widget that does nothing but display some text when it loads up.  As a
test, I implemented the same widget in Java and it worked correctly.  There is
a dummy activity in there so that the project will build (see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=645213).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build/deploy the attached project to the emulator
2. Try to open the list of widgets you can add to a home screen
Actual Results:  
Settings application crashes

Expected Results:  
The Settings application should load, display the new widget, and allow you to
add it to the home screen.
