As I mentioned to Bert, the key in all this is that "just accept it"
works if the Workspace's acceptAction is set to something special.
This is highly non-obvious to someone like myself (or presumable Chris
Cunnington), who lack the in-depth experience you and Bert share.

So in particular, I've solved the problem. We'll use #welcomeToSqueak
as the basis for the welcome text, rather than the version-specific
#welcomeToSqueak43, so that for the next release it _will_ be as
simple as "open the welcome Workspace, edit it, and accept". And I've
added an item to the 4.5 wishlist (wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6189) to
pull this out of Morphic: it seems silly to have to touch Morphic at
all to update a new version of Squeak.
