Problem solved, but first, let me explain why this is a bug, IMHO:

if you're going to compare, for instance, an "old project" with the new 
one, you'd like to check if its sub-elements are changed too, now $record 
doesn't contain any information related to the sub-elements of the node 
(project, in this case) since they're not stored in the database table of 
this node. hence, it's impossibile to check if sub-elements are changed or not.

I've solved this calling postUpdate with a different argument, modifying 
atk/class.atknode (function updateDb):

//Now we call a postUpdate...

// OLD: $this->postUpdate($record)
// NEW:
$temprecord = $this->selectDb($pk);
$newrecordset = $temprecord[0];
$newrecordset["atkorgrec"] = $recordset[0];
$this->postUpdate($newrecordset);

Even if we must do some new db queries...

I think this could be ported to official atk version since it doesn't 
modify the "interface" of this class and the behaviour of ...isChanged (for 
instance for ToDos)

Your opinion: is this the right way to accomplish this task?

Kind regards,
Pietro
