As I mentioned, I don't seem to be able to remove the gateway entry
from eth0.

At one time, I used to use firestarter which allowed me to explicitly
assign the 'internet' port, and the port for 'local network' access.
In system-config-firewall I don't seem to be able to do that; I had
set 'masquerade' thinking that might cause the same effect, but
obviously not.

I'm going to search the internet for how to do this at cli level - I
will post back.

Following up, some useful advice here:

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-networkscripts-interfaces.html

and using the Network Administration Tool (system-config-network), I was able to redefine the eth0 configuration to avoid using a gateway entry. Incidentally, this tool did not list wlan0, which surprised me, but the network manager applet in XFCE lets me set wlan0 the way I need it, so I was ok.

I restarted the machine completely.  Now I have:

$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use ~Iface

192.168.13.0    *               255.255.255.0   U     2      0 0 wlan0
192.168.0.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     1      0 0 eth0
default         192.168.13.1    0.0.0.0         UG    0      0 0 wlan0

And the netbook acts as both an internet gateway, and a proxy server.
