I really dislike the UI for the Property Editor and want to recode it so
that it presents a grid of properties and values like VB, Boa, and most
other tools that let you change the attributes of widgets. However, the one
we have today is working, so it keeps getting knocked down on my priority
list.

Events and attributes for each widget are described in spec.py. widget.py
has the full method list for each widget. There is no standalone
documenation for either widget attributes or events yet. Initial attempts
using pydoc and happydoc didn't work so well. Documentation continues to be
high on my priority list, so I'll get into again once the labor day weekend
is over and the guests staying with us are gone.

Yes, Neil and Patrick have done a good thing.

I'm not sure what you're asking here, can you go into more depth, provide an
example of what you're trying to do, etc.?
