Well, I can only say a few things I've observed about ActivateGadget which may
or may not help. I've found that it sometimes works if the window is _not_
activated when you call it, but usually doesn't. The other big one is that if
you call it to activate two different gadgets in a row (like multiple events
queued up to your UserPort telling you to activate multiple gadgets), only the
first one will take effect. Note that theses are also possibly just guesses,
as they're not confirmed to be fact. Hope that helps some.
