I'm not sure there is a way of fixing this without breaking XForms or
simply not using the signal callback mechanism. The control flow
changes whenever a shortcut is invoked and short of mucking with
XForms internals, there's not much of a way to override this behavior.
Perhaps TC can make some recommendations when he returns from
vacation.
