I've published a version to the trunk that does not modify any outside  
methods.  The latest version published takes advantage of the dock  
refactoring published to the trunk in Morphic-kb.428.  If we choose  
not to go ahead with those changes I'll change my code again.

Unifying the docking bar and world menu registry is a good idea and I  
would like to see a uniform approach.  I'm frankly unattached to how  
we do it just that we get over this and do it.  It's an old problem  
with multiple solutions proposed in the past.  We should pick a  
strategy and go forward.  And to further minimize churn I recommend  
that if someone is going to write this code it should be stated here  
and we can all evaluate it.
