I find you like the 'Workspace from ', I think at first I conserve that but then I discard as redundant, but if you need that the change is OK with me.

By the way I also have a hack for your PluggableSystemWindowWithLabelButton, I don't like the hidden (magic?) button, I always try to move the window and instead the menu pop up, so I modify the button as a visible and with '<=>' as the label, remind me of the Previous, Next arrows in other text editors like XCode:


I think you probably don't like that also, but I always have the 'extra st' folder for my modifications, thats is the things I like in Squeak.
