This same thing happened to me, and I could find no work-around. I ended up
using the feature/bug to do mutual-exclusion :
    RefreshGadgets  turns off highlighted boolean GADGHCOMP gadgets
    SetNewStates    more on this follows
    RefreshGadgets  turns on only newly set gadgets

As for set-new-states : the documented method (Remove, play around, Add) worked
only on Gadgets in windows, It gurued for those in requesters. The only way
I found to play with these gadgets was to change their Selected bits directly
without removing them. Since I didn't know how safe this was I surrounded that
bit with Forbid/Permit. - Icky!

Comments & Constructive critisism welcomed.
