[mcclim-devel] abort-gesture, again

Hi,

Regarding the following patch, of August 25th:

Modified Files:
         presentation-defs.lisp 
Log Message:
This patch HANDLER-BINDs the ABORT-GESTURE condition to #'abort
for the function ACCEPT in presentation-defs.lisp.

I believe this has had the side effect of making C-g in climacs, while
in the process of typing an extended command (e.g. com-find-file,
started by C-x C-f) abort the entire application rather than just the
command input -- as the ESA-TOP-LEVEL does not provide an ABORT
restart -- instead, it tries to handle abort-gesture itself, but the
control is never passed to that handler because the inner handler in
ACCEPT unconditionally handles the gesture.

What was the intent of all of this?  How is it meant to behave?

Cheers,

Christophe
