Right.

That worked. Had to change the line:

> $slist->{data}[$pathstring+0][2] = $newval;

to:

> $slist->{data}[$pathstring+0][6] = $newval;

but anyway, it's working...
... minus one small detail :)

If you change the value of the spinbutton with the mouse *alone*, the 
'edited' signal doesn't fire.
If you change the value with the mouse and then hit ENTER while the 
focus is still inside the spinbutton, the 'edit' signal fires.

This isn't too much trouble for us at the moment - I'm *pretty* sure 
everyone here will be typing values anyway. If it bothers me too much 
later I'll spend some time seeing if I can make it work. If I can't make 
it work, I'll be back.

Thanks muppet :)
