Doh!  I tried that, but I was looking at a roll with so many pictures 
that it didn't appear to change anything, so I didn't realize I'd found 
it.

iPhoto also remembers the views for different albums - nifty.

Wish there was a way to rename rolls and merge them together. I have 
several with just one photo because I shot something and imported it 
from the camera right away. When pictures are imported from files 
rather than the camera, it seems to take the name from the import 
directory rather than the generic "Roll XX" - perhaps a clue to give 
that directory a meaningful name.

But the thing you see in iMovie is your albums, so you have a chance to 
mange things in iPhoto so that your album view in iMovie is meaningful 
. . .
