I don't quite understand. Do you have an implementation of accept values panes that you'd like to share, or you're using it in CLIM and would like to use it in McCLIM too? This is an important project that shouldn't be too hard to knock off, given the structure of the current accepting-values code, command table, etc. We would have to understand / solve keyboard focus issues.

As for view object values, there is code in classic CLIM to pass on the "init args" passed to a view object as extra arguments to make-pane; it is probably worthwhile to do that in McCLIM too.
