Yes (see Andreas' suggestion).

Interestingly, pen trails were originally on top in the first version 
of etoys, and I'm not sure just why they aren't now.

However, it's also pretty clear that a more appropriate 
implementation would be to have them actually make an object of some 
kind (a SketchMorph or a PolygonMorph) that works like any other 
object. We will probably do something like this in a future version 
of etoys.

Cheers,

Alan
