       Vitals: CLIM 1.1, LUCID 4.0, SUN IPC

       ACCEPTING-VALUES doesn't seem to process gestures that are actions,
       ie., if while filling in a value for an ACCEPT, and an action gesture
       is performed, that action isn't executed.  This works fine if it is a
       plain ACCEPT, but if the ACCEPT is inside the ACCEPTING-VALUES,
       nothing happens.  It works for scrolling the pane which I presume is
       implemented as an action too, right?

    The problem is that your action is defined in the test-comtab command
    table, but when you are running inside accepting-values the active
    command table is accept-values.  I have included a modified version of
    your test application below.  The changes are to add a second action
    translator in the accept-values comtab that checks the value of a
    special variable bound by the command, and to modify the command to
    bind the variable to the frame.  This is pretty kludgy, but it seems
    to work.

    The changes are flagged by the comment "York change"

By the way, in CLIM 2.0, ACCEPTING-VALUES takes a :COMMAND-TABLE
argument that can be used to specify a command table to use for the
extent of the ACCEPTING-VALUES call.  This command table should, of
course, inherit from the (exported) ACCEPT-VALUES command table.

In this example, you would create you own command table that inherits
from ACCEPT-VALUES, make your translator live in the new comtab, and
then pass :COMMAND-TABLE to ACCEPTING-VALUES.
