String gadgets are de-selected by pressing return or clicking the mouse
elsewhere.  We can tell the system knows in both cases that the gadget
is de-selected because the cursor in it disappears.  If my string gadget
has RELVERIFY set I get a GADGETUP event when I deactivate the sucker by
pressing return, but not when I click the mouse elsewhere.

Is there some reason for this?  Is there SOME combination of flags that
will get Intuition to send me some (not necessarily GADGETUP, though
that would be nice) event when a string gadget is de-selected by mouse-
click?

Oh, and yes I know that string gadgets are broken.  I just don't think
I know all the ways they are broken yet.  Anybody have a canonical list?
