Iconic collapse of  morphs is easily achievable just refactor up from sketch morph
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SQ-596
                 URL: http://tracker.immuexa.com/browse/SQ-596
             Project: squeakland
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: etoys
            Reporter: Jerome Peace


Context: Currently sketch morphs collapse into a iconic button which looks like a thumbnail of the current sketch. Every thing else is collapsed into a title bar similar to browsers.

Problem: Distinguishing morphs by name is chancy at best. It will never be clear that the one you want is Polygon10 and not Polygon6 etc. It would be easier to just see from a thumbnail which morph is wanted.

Solution:
>From work I have done on 3.9/3.10 projects I know that the code used for the SketchMorphs can be easily refactored (by moving it up to Morph). This would allow creating icons for any given morph. I have done it and it works.

Separately, if the above is done then making a real estate manager for icons becomes desirable also. This does not need to be done at the same time. The icons can be moved as they are created and they will stay where put.

Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace
