[news.eclipse.platform] Property Sheet only picks up selection after foc

[Chris Longfield <clongfield@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm having a weird bit of behavior.

I have a property sheet that displays properties of my model objects 
that the user selects from a tree.  The tree viewer gets set as a 
selection provider for the site.  The user can also right click on the 
tree nodes and open the model objects for editing.  Fine.

The weird part is, my property sheet does not display anything if I just 
start the app and select nodes in the tree. I can select this one or 
that and no properties.  But as soon as I open one for editing, the 
property sheet 'wakes up' and starts displaying the properties of 
whatever the current selection is.

I can also get the property shet to start paying attention to the 
selection by clicking on the sheet itself, either a button or whatever, 
just to give it the focus.

So I have a hack to make it pay attention by finding the view and 
requesting the focus after the workbench is up.  But this is ugly.  What 
is going on here?
