[cells-gtk-devel] lots of circular cells in cells-gtk3?

As you saw in my other mail, I found the intermediate cause of the
problem:  I had included a reference to (id self) in
initialize-instance of widget.  For some reason that causes the
circularity detection to raise its voice.

What I don't understand, however, is why a reference to the slot in
initialize-instance :after brings out circularity.

For now, I moved the stuff into the rule for the id slot itself, so
when the id is calculated, I use it right away, and don't have to
worry about cell access.  slot-value would have been another option, I
suppose.

But still:  why???
