1. Is there a page where I can see all my submitted gadgets, even if they're not in the directory yet? Can you give me the link, please?
Not if they aren't in the directory, no. To view all your gadgets that you've submitted, using your email, look at something like my url: http://www.google.com/ig/authors?author=gadget%40mattkruse.com
2. Some of my gadgets are bigger and can't be inserted into the Google's home page - regarding this, is possible for the Google home page be customized so it can display bigger gadgets? It seems that whatever skin I choose I have the same 3 columns. Maybe is possible to leave only 1, or maybe is possible for one gadget with the width of 700px to spread oer all 3 columns so it will display complete.
Using various skin gadgets, you can adjust the column widths. For example, http://www.google.com/ig/directory?url=www.JavascriptToolbox.com/gadget/skin/skin.xml
3. Who is approving the gadgets?
The exact process for a gadget being approved and put into the directory is not known, as far as I know. You submit, something mysterious happens for a week or two, and then it's in the directory! Magic! :) So far I've not known of any gadget submissions being "rejected", so I'm not sure it's an approval process as much as a scheduled recurring mass update of the directory.
Hope that helps,
Matt
