    One problem I had with trying to do this was based on window
    activation. When the window was deactivated, my iconify gadget would
    get "shadowed", and when the window was reactivated the drag bar would
    be drawn over the gadget altogether.

    A solution in the end was to detect when the window got (de)activated,
    and redraw the gadget directly.
