That's one way to look at it.  IMC only the passage of a living 
creature will activate a gate.

Well, you can put any LIMIT on it that you want.  That doesn't 
mean there aren't any restrictions on the basic capability of
the spell.  For instance, you couldn't define a 'rule' that
a person going through arrives at a randomly selected gate,
(or one they select by speaking a word as they go through).

See, I wouldn't allow that.  To me, something either goes 
through or it doesn't--no sticking-just-your-head-through 
stuff.  But again, that's my campaign, far be it from me 
to tell anyone else how to run theirs.

Well, so far as the orbs are concerned, even if you allow
this much flexiblity with gate spells the orbs represent
something new: a mobile gate.
