If you turn on clipping in the parent, the submorphs outside the 
parent bounds shouldn't be a problem (because they won't be visible).

Also if the parent overrides containsPoint: to return false when the 
point is outside its bounds, you won't be able to interact with the 
submorphs.

Also, some kinds of morphs will not respond to an event if they're 
transparent.
