'Fraid so.  Intuition appears to just "Refresh" the gadget in question,
which in your case will just redraw the border and text.  If you use JAM2
mode on the text, it will erase any stipple just around the letters, but
that's all.

'Fraid so.  As far as I can tell anyway.  Another way is to make the 
Gadget imagery an actual Image.  Then the refresh will erase the old
one completely.  Kind of overkill for simple gadgets, however.
