Uh -- the setenv entry in your french class replaces the capability from
the default class.  You get one or the other, not both.  This is
consistent with what would happen with any of the other capabilities.

I don't think there is a way to refer to a capability setting from a
parent class in the way you want.  You're just going to have to
cut'n'paste the text into your new class.
