I just discovered something rather interesting.  If you have a panel
that is modally run from your MyApp object, the target of any cells in
the panel is set to that object by default.  This leads you into
mistakenly believing that you can set up actions for cells just by
calling setAction:.

This is not true.  It turns out that if you fire up a panel from some
other object (even modally) the target is set to nil and nothing will
happen.

I don't see this behavior documented anywhere.
