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?

You could have your presentation types subclass a presentation type for which you have a command, say com-describe-object, and then have a presentation translator (DEFINE-PRESENTATION-TO-COMMAND-TRANSLATOR) on the superclass and middle button (:describe gesture) to invoke it.
