Thanks.  I understand and sympathize.  But is there some easy recipe
to get this behavior back?  Either to get it for a whole application
(my biggest use for McCLIM was for debugging tools), or for particular
objects?

I feel sure that this is a stupid question and that there's some
RTFMish thing I should be doing, but the CLIM literature seems so
scattered and fragmented that I'm finding it hard to get a handle on
it.

Best,
