Actually you don't with Squeak 4.2 and Pharo 1.3 (don't know about earlier versions), because Morph>>initialize does that. But just for completeness, I did that, and it made no difference. My class is just:
MorphExp>>initialize
super initialize.
self startStepping.
self color: Color red lighter
MorphExp>>step
self halt
MorphExp>>stepAt: t
self halt
and it doesn't halt if it is a subclass of SystemWindow, but does if it's any higher up the hierarchy.

Thanks, but I don't want the issue about unloading, and I'm not worried about it being super-smooth animation.
Also thanks for the link, because it looks like interesting things are happening at HPI!
