	Adrian, this is exactly what I needed to know.  I was so wrapped up
with the "activate" signal, I missed the "traverse" signal.  It's doing
exactly what I need.  Thanks!!!  I think have the sheet and children now
working as desired.

	For anybody else that sees this thread in the archives: Be careful to
note that the handler for the "traverse" signal is passed in two
(gint)'s for the row/col of the cell to be deactivated, but is passed in
two (gint *)'s for the row/coll of the cell to be activated.  This is so
the cell to activate can be changed by the signal handler.  I missed
this fact at first and wasted some time trying to figure out a
segfault...    8^0=
