The AlignmentMorphBob1 is something that Bob Arning wrote and then 
used as a subclass for a lot of UI stuff that ended up in 
experimental, including the remote etoy stuff, nebraska, thread 
navigation, etc.

However, it is also used for the GenericPropertiesMorph and its 
subclasses; these are used by the properties Halo handle.

I would probably consider basing the GenericPropertiesMorph on 
AlignmentMorph or BorderedMorph, and copy the necessary methods from 
AMBob1 into it.

Likewise, StretchyImageMorph probably doesn't need to be based on 
AMBob1.

DrawErrorMorph appears to be something that was used in testing and 
could be removed.

I have found ShowEmptyTextMorph or something like it to be useful, 
though the choice of how to display empty text should probably be 
moved to TextMorph.
