Well, you could use ModifyIDCMP_ for that, but that might just stop
your program from hearing about whether the window was moved etc.
You could also try changing the window flags but that might be a bit
hacky.
Or you could try removing the gadget list (using OS functions) cos
that might take away the window gadgets too. Use RemoveGList_ to
detach from the window then AddGList_ to put it back.
