        Grief; so you did :-) good catch, thanks. However, this code is in
freeze, so I'd like to be sure that changing this doesn't impact Nautilus
or I will be scalped.

	Yes.

	We need to emit the ACTIVATE signal especialy if we are not in
automerge mode. So I'd prefer instead:

+	if (control->priv->active != activated)
+                 gtk_signal_emit (GTK_OBJECT (control), control_signals
[ACTIVATE], (gboolean) activated);
-	gtk_signal_emit (GTK_OBJECT (control), control_signals [ACTIVATE],
(gboolean) activated);

	Could you test that and commit if there are no issues ?

	Regards,

		Michael.
