[Etoys] Sketch's graphic assignment?

[Scott Wallace]

This is now fixed by update 1361viewerConflicts-sw, which also fixes  
five or six related glitches which all derived from similar  
collisions of slot-definitions for Viewers, as specified in class- 
side #addiltionsToViewerCategoryxxx methods.

The formerly conflicting slot definitions that are cleaned up by this  
update are:

  cursor  -- conflicts among TextMorph, NCLabelMorph,  PasteUpMorph,  
FlashPlayerMorph, GraphMorph

  graphic -- conflicts among SketchMorph, VideoMorph,  PasteUpMorph


Thanks again for the bug report, Dan.  It's good to get these  
glitches sorted out.

Cheers,

   -- Scott
