 to answer the original question as presented here,

  yes you can have more than 32 gadgets.. i have over 80.

 (yup, i said 80!)  . ..

  i also think that the lack of system code for mutual exclude is a bit
   lax on commodores part.. also check out what happens when you ghost
   a gadget that is just plain IntuiText.. when you re-activate it,
  intuition doesn't remember to remove the ghost pattern!

 (ugh!)

  hope this helps in some way!
