Widgets don't need DTX running to work (hence no DTX icon in tray), just installed.

Try either right clicking the widget or the widgets icon or maybe try the Widget Manager (I'm not at my computer, so I'm guessing here)

Yes, right-click any of your widgets > select properties > Appearance Tab > at the bottom of that tab there is the "Accessibility" option, select which option you want > then make sure there is a Check Mark in the "Run automatically when windows starts" option directly below the "Accessibility" option. This should solve your prob.

As Bichur stated, you do not need DesktopX running to load/run widgets. So unless you want an object/Desktop to load at startup, go back into DesktopX prop. and uncheck the option to run at startup.
