If an ACC doesn't call menu_register, does it still take up a `slot'?

On older TOS's this is exactly the case - no dragging. But with WINX or
with newer TOS versions, the BEVENT flag of a window can be set, thus
allowing it to perform drags. Sliders generally provide paging or lining
areas/buttons, so they are still usable via single clicks, just not as
much as when topped.
