I don't quite understand. Do you have an implementation of accept values 
panes that you'd like to share, or you're using it in CLIM and would 
like to use it in McCLIM too? This is an important project that 
shouldn't be too hard to knock off, given the structure of the current 
accepting-values code, command table, etc. We would have to understand / 
solve keyboard focus issues.

As for view object values, there is code in classic CLIM to pass on the 
"init args" passed to a view object as extra arguments to make-pane; it 
is probably worthwhile to do that in McCLIM too.
