Is it that you want the SWT.MouseDown to cause a selection event on the 
table?  It does sound like display.post(*) is what you want.

Right know you are posting the event with the event.widget == s, no? 
What happens if you update the widget before you post?

public void handleEvent(Event event) {
s.close();
// set the widget to the table, or maybe one of the
// table items so it can be translated into a table selection
event.widget = someTableItem;
display.post(event);
}

Later,
