This gadget displays the number of files currently checked out to the user in each site and gives the user the option to check them all back in.
No longer in development, v1 is ready for prime time! It has been a little over two years since this gadget has been refreshed. The latest version includes fixes to prevent files being checked in that are under workflow, scheduled or set to expire. Also, it has gone back to being exclusively a dashboard gadget as the sidebar functionality was causing some issues on the dashboard.

So the files in OU's gadget will still look like they are checked out when they aren't. You can verify that they are checked in my refreshing just that widget. This is kinda a bug, but kinda isn't.
After clicking "Checkin All" with the CheckIn Gadget the My Checked-Out Content still shows checked out files:
