Thanks. that solved this little test case I gave. I had a larger program  
that behaved the same, but the recalc did not fix it. Your help lead me  
to  
finding that the problem was that I was calling recalc on the top window  
thinking that it were propagate down, but fxRuby propagates up not down.  
A  
real V8 moment.
