Having checked the stamps in my changesets, I can say I've been 
flipping between Morphic and MVC projects in 3.2a4586 (i.e., after 
the 4487 cs) last December.  There were some text display issues in 
1-bit mode that I recall; but indeed I may have performed most 
development work in Morphic, and only occasionally switched to the 
MVC project.  Could very well be that I never actually *proceeded* 
through a notifier there...

Sorry -- I saw it, but couldn't reply.  (I have a hard time following 
*some* of  SqueakML at all these days.)

My other MVC platform (that hasn't received much attention either 
lately) is the iPAQ with 3.0f3552 and 3.1a4332.

I *have* 3.2f (on OSX) now, but have recently switched machines and 
haven't filed in or continued my projects yet.  I *am* grateful for 
the workaround that Scott posted.

HTH,
