The Old iGoogle is back !
Well, to my surprise, Google has not switched its homepage interface back to the old iGoogle. The new one is just plain awful and I've since moved away from Google because of this very reason. You can try www.netvibes.com, it's rather nice...
However, a little trick I discovered entirely by accident can get you back to the old iGoogle UI: simply use www.google.ca/ig instead of www.google.com/ig ! Why this works, I have no idea.... but it works :)
