I don't have a demo for you, but you are probably not doing the necessary 
voodoo to get your gadget to precede the system drag gadget in the 
gadget list (gadgets select from from to back, head to tail in the
gadget list).  To do this, you must AddGadget() explicity, it cannot
be gotten by the FirstGadget field in the NewWindow.  Try setting the
'position' parameter in AddGadget to 0.

Be sure also to set the TOPBORDER activation flag in the gadget.

Top border gadgets have always been a little weird, esp. when the window is
made active/inactive.  They may still be a little weird.  Good lucks.
