I'm aware of #1083748: Put exposed views filters into the block config section (where the color settings reside), but I think this is unrelated.

Currently, Views exposed form blocks are hidden from the blocks available to place in homeboxes.

However, it can be useful to place one of these blocks to act as a jumping off point to the View page which will show filtered results.

Here is a patch that restores these.

I've added code to alter the Views exposed form submit button, as I think the 'Apply' label on the submit button doesn't make sense here, as there's nothing for the form to apply *to*. Unfortunately, this requires a fair bit of hoop-jumping to alter the form only when it's being shown in a homebox.

Tested this on our setup and it works fine. Not sure why they were ever excluded in the first place.

Didn't work out for me... It clears my whole homeboxes.
And I don't have this line:
$array = module_invoke($block->module, 'block', 'view', $block->delta, array('homebox' => $block));

But I have this one:
$array = module_invoke($block->module, 'block', 'view', $block->delta);

How can I solve my problem?

Patched against Drupal 7.

For me this worked immediately after removing the following code block

    // We don't want to list exposed views blocks
    if (strpos($block['delta'], '-exp-') === 0) {
      // Remove exposed views blocks
      unset($blocks[$key]);
      continue;
    }

So the patch is a bit smaller than the D6 version.
