Thanks to all who responded with help.

And special thanks (and a HotJava T-shirt) to Raghurama Bhat
who was the first with the right answer.

For reasons beyond time (and reason :-) I was subclassing 
CView for awt window objects.  Well, CView objects aren't meant
to be nested.  So it appears that it mostly works except that
it messes up the normal delivery of WM_MOUSEACTIVATE which is
needed for correct behaviour of comboboxes and edit controls.

Thanks again,
Pat

BTW, I'm afraid the trivial fix won't make it for alpha3 :-(
