Ideally, SystemWindow etc. should be revised to become a neutral wrappers
of Morphs. Example 1: SystemWindow sets the color of its submorphs. If I
want something else, I have to set it after having buildt the window.
Example2: ScrollPane (which I often use within a SystemWindow) gobbles up
mouseUp-events.
