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, R
