This is the way I do it in A-Talk (and A-Talk Plus) and it works ONLY under
1.2 since I use ActivateGadget().

1. Set the window to use the REQSET IDCMP message.
2. Display the requester as usual.
3. When you get REQSET message, do the following:
   - check if version id >=33
   - if it is, call ActivateGadget(gadget, window, requester)
(Note that when the requester appears you WILL get a REQSET message.)

That's it.

I think also EGAD! uses ActivateGadget, so you might want to look in there
to see if they do it differently.
