So I misstated and oversimplified my problem.  I hate it when that
happens.  I'll try again.

Potentiometer gadgets do not allow you to render into the container
(except for the knob).  I would like to render into the container.

So I want to simulate a slider with gadget down, mousemoves, gadget up.
I can easily do it with MOUSEBUTTONS, but then I need to check to see
that the mouse cursor is inside my simulated gadget (I also have
to ignore mousebuttons when I push other gadgets...)

Instead if I used a gadget then the "is it inside the container" check
would be handled by Inutition.  If I had a GADRELEASE flag, then
it would be really simple to simulate a potentiometer gadget just by
setting the GADGIMMEDIATE|FOLLOWMOUSE|GADGRELEASE flags.
The only thing that would be lacking would be unit-less potentiometer
values (the value from 0-1 in scaled in format).

If (in 1.4) there was a GADGRELEASE flag that was usable for BOOLEAN
gadgets then it would be much simpler to simulate sliders, and
we could avoid using MOUSEBUTTONS (and we wouldn't have to add
code to ignore them when we don't want them.)

I hope this clarifies things.
