With the Ajax Animator gadget, http://antimatter15.com/ajaxanimator/wave/manifest.xml is actually the extension installer file, not the actual gadget, which resides as http://antimatter15.com/ajaxanimator/wave/wave.xml

The thing that I was missing is a way to insert an image using a URL. You can add it by searching for it, but not by supplying a url. So I made a extension for that:
