Hi Nick,

No, unfortunately the built in gadget preferences of type enum have to
work with a static list of values. To offer a UI as you described, you
would have to use a user pref of type hidden, and then build in your
gadget space the UI to handle the selection of which device should be
graphed.

So a short answer is that this can be done, but you have to code this
yourself.
