How do I remove it?

Oops, forgot that I was still hiding the title bar:
It should display it now... if it doesn't then GoogleIG's caching is in the way and things will get more complicated...

I need to remove it too, it unformatted my whole page, blocked some of my modules totally, gives me an error when the page loads and it doesnt actually let me arrange any content on my page, I would recommend to stay away from this one for now,

figured out how to get rid of it,
try adding it again, when it prompts you to inline click delete instead,

this allowed for my module manager to re-open like normal, I then un-cached googleos and was able to then delete it

really had me worried for a second,

Are you using Internet Explorer? I just added a requirement for Firefox 1.5 to the XML, to make sure this doesn't happen to other people. Problem is that I was planning to add the requirements when posting about it here, but sadly googlemodules just takes the string supplied in the XML and doesn't ask for additional comments.

For those who are wise enough to scroll down to this post:
1. THIS IS FIREFOX ONLY
2. IT'S ONLY TESTED ON FIREFOX 2.X
3. DEPENDING ON WHAT GOOGLE DOES WITH ITS CACHING, YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO UNINSTALL IT EASILY.

Thanks! I now have my homepage back!  Be careful with this one if you are using IE, folks.

I guess I should tell you that this was written in about 30 minutes during my lunch break (as a GreaseMonkey script) and ported over to IG in about 2 minutes, so it hasn't really received any testing at all. Anyway, Brent sent me a mail with his problems a few hours ago and I think there's some usefull stuff in there:

Q:"Is it possible to delete this module?"
A: There should be a GoogleOS TitleBar somewhere, which would allow you to remove it. If it isn't, just go to Add Content/By Url and type in developer.xml. This
module allows you to disable caching, so that you'll get the latest
version that has the titlebar enabled. You can then remove it by clicking the little [x].

"Is it possible to start over from scratch?"
To do that, you have to get rid of the cookies, the standard Firefox way:
Tools/Options/Privacy/Cookies/View Cookies/google.com and delete
everything that has GOOGLEIG.WM at the beginning
