You'd have to adjust the Morphic user interaction. Normally when you 
drop something (say a browser) on a PasteUpMorph (the World or 
another one), the browser becomes a child of that pasteUpMorph, and 
so would be scaled. If you had a PasteUpMorph with a different scale 
with some things in it, and then told it not to accept drops, then 
new Morphs opened in the World would stay at normal scale.
