It is not the ifNoTransformWithIn: that is the issue.  It is getting to 
the bitblt, but nothing shows.  I suspect a clipping issue with the use 
of TransformationMorph.  The bounding box is centered on 0, rather than 
being all positive as in the normal morphic cases.  I am still looking 
into this, but as usual if someone has knowledge of this let me know.
