Widgets "re-"load at screen orientation change

every time I change the screen orientation all my widgets "re-" load. This wouldn't be a big deal- other than it is anoying, and some apps don't want to work until the widgets are finished loading- but some "word-a-day" type widgets go to a new word everytime they load so it is more like "30-words-a-day". Anyone know a fix for this? thank you.
 
OK, so is it
A-no one else has this problem?
B-I wasn't clear in my question? to clarify- I turn the device from portrait to landscape and all the widgets on the home screen start to load again (like when they are first installed) and I have to wait for them to finish before I proceed)
C-there is some other reason no one is answering.

thanks

I don't have your problem and I don't remember this being an issue with the stock launcher. I hate touch wiz though so I'm running the Go Launcher EX and it works well. Switching from poitrait only takes a second or two as the widgets just are redrawn.

Maybe try a different launcher?
