Yep, that's the right way to do it in Etoys. In addition to moving the object, it also ensures it's in view, the holder's cursor gets updated etc.

If you were doing it in plain Morphic, you would do something like

	newContainer addMorph: self

which automatically deletes self from its current container, but does not change the position etc.
