Tim does your blue-button moving and resizing work?  It doesn't work
for me unless middle button is yellow and right button is blue (e.g.,
unswapped for Linux).

I ask because Bert's blue-drag and control-blue "pinch-zoom" is one of
a trio of improvements that has modernized Squeak's UI from the 1990's
scroll-bars to 2010's tablet-style UI's.  With

  1) Bert's blue-drag and control-blue-drag "pinch-zoom",
  2) the filterable lists feature, and
  3) the new smart-splitters,

Any need for scrolling has virtually evaporated.  Controlling Squeak
occurs in the cerebellum, so that more thinking about Squeak stays in
the cerebrum.  :)  It took a couple of days to get used to
middle-click yellow, but it is way worth it for having the blue
features work.

What did mildly annoy me was that loading my preferences (mostly things like swapping back to proper mouse button use instead of the completely improper right-button-is-middle-button nonsense and getting scrollbars on the left as they should be) actually reset the background. It would be nice if only  deliberate change caused the new choice to be written out; no idea where the code is that does that right now.
