I finally figure this one out. I have tags and flags which have about the same
names. It was late and I'd been working on the problem for a long time. I
figured out that I was trying to change the number-of-tags for a Flag and not
an Event.

This is a good reason for using color to distinguish between parts like accent
does. Maybe it could be added to the wish list.

Also, for the wish list; in a future release, re-write TMG window structures
to give all windows except the Details window the ability to be moved outside
the parent window.

Why is it necessary to click "Window > Center the current window" to set
focus. TMG should check focus and raise the window to the top if necessary,
before displaying a window to the user.
