Don't tell me. Your using Borders for your gadget images. I've never found
an easy solution myself, except maybe having a blank image the same size
as the gadget (just have PlanePick set to NULL, PlaneOnOff set to NULL).
Use drawimage to erase the old grid, then refresh your gadget imagery.

Anyone got any better solutions?

This is a proplem typical for non-image gadgets (working with IntuiBorders
instead of IntuiImages). The most system-conformal way of solving this
problem is to use an IntuiImage structure as gadget image, and call
RefreshGList to redraw the gadget. This will draw on top of the grid, hence
erasing it.

If you want to use IntuiBorders, here's how:

-Read the coordinates of the gadget from the list.
-RectFill() the area where the gadget is located, to remove the grid by hand.
-Refresh the gadget image with RefreshGList().

Not very nice, I know. (:
