QSite is a subclass of CMFSite- in its entirety:
class QSite(CMFSite):

    meta_type='Q Site'

My product initializes it with initializeBases... &  registerClass. I
add a 'Q Site' to my Zope root through the management interface, and
that's where I was hoping to get the event notification.

I suspected that the event methods were more intended for content
objects written from scratch, still, was hoping the "magic" worked
"outside the box" as well! Thanks for alerting me that I can't expect
events to work on Zope2-ish objects yet. Hope you don't mind me cc'ing
to the five list on this response, so others can see that it is
closed.

What I'm trying to do in the big picture, is write a product that
comes with an optional skin, which it installs on instantiation. Will
post a more detailed request for help to the zope users list.
