Since highlighting is done by the list morph anyway, that can be fixed
by changing PLM>>drawOn:. But the ballon help is handle by the item
morph, so its harder to cheat there. I guess we're running into a more
general issue - who determines the items effective width, the list or
the item. This will be more complicated when we have general morphs in
there. Either way, if we want the StringMorph case to stay width: 9999,
thats trivial too.
