You know, it does, I'll be darned.  <smile>  Proof that a little bit of 
using standard widgets goes a long way.

Unfortunately,  the FolderView and SummaryView trees seem to be the 
exception.  They each claim to manage their descendants, but then fail 
to inform us when the active descendant (aka the selected item in the 
tree) has changed.  I was able to hack around it for the FolderView in a 
claws-mail script.  The hack currently fails for the SummaryView.  I'll 
look at it some more.  However, in the meantime I filed an RFE for Orca 
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=457840) and blocked it 
against a bug I filed against Claws-mail 
(http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1269). 
 My hope is that the Claws-mail developers are interested in making 
their application more accessible.  <crosses fingers>

Take care.
