 * Yes, other options seem to save and have the desired affect: number of posts 
   to show, selecting show date, # of comments, excerpts, length of excerpts, thumbnail
   size, etc.
 * The category selection even saves and works when only one category is selected.

 * It only works if I chose a single category, either parent or child, or if I choose“
   All Categories.”
 * If I select multiple categories, it acts like it accepts my selection but when
   I leave the widget, save the page and then come back into the widget, it shows
   that I’ve selected only “Uncategorized.”
 * I’ve also tried it on another installation, same result. It’s on same server,
   but different domain.

 * Martin, I just installed your plugin and all looks great so far, I look forward
   to using it going forward on my site. However, I’m having trouble getting it 
   to behave the way it seems it should.
 * I’m trying to select multiple post categories to display. When I do so, it doesn’t
   display any posts. I can select a single category or I can select “All Categories”
   and these work fine. But when I use the Ctrl+Click to select multiple categories,
   I get back to none being shown.
 * Is there a trick to making this work that I may be missing?
 * BTW – I have parent and child categories in use. The results are the same no 
   matter what combination of parent and/or child categories selected.
 * Thx
