Hmm, I fooled around and saw it needs some other classes too, it does not want 
the default xml classes but the exolab xml parser, which overlaps with the 
default xml class about class names.
Maybe that's why filing in didn't tell me, or I didn't notice, at least the 
class it inherets from wasn't there, so it must have chosen ProtoObject 
instead.

That makes sense, and now I kicked the default xml stuff, installed exolab, 
re-filed-in my Jabber stuff and this problem is solved.

I still find weird that selectionIndex was set to 0, it doesn't make a lot of 
sense to me. I can reproduce it too: All you need to do is create a subclass 
of ProtoObject like this:

'From Squeak3.4alpha of ''11 November 2002'' [latest update: #5125] on 5 
January 2003 at 8:36:57 pm'!
ProtoObject subclass: #ProtoTest
	instanceVariableNames: 'vari '
	classVariableNames: ''
	poolDictionaries: ''
	category: 'LP-Utilities-XMLParser'!

!ProtoTest methodsFor: 'as yet unclassified' stamp: 'NES 1/5/2003 20:35'!
somethingUseful
	vari _ nil.
     self halt.
     ^ self! !

Then debugging it, you middle-click on vari and get another debugger, and 
there selectionIndex is 0.

Thank you again, I just hope it doesn't get too buggy :-)

can't find it anywhere.  I'm sure he's telling the truth though; why
would he lie about a thing like that?
