[Squeakland] Can we remove the mouseOverHalo option?

[Kim Rose]

Hi, Jerome -
This preference was created especially for childrens' use and is 
quite helpful to kids first learning to work with sketches and 
manipulating them via the handles in the halo.  Is there a reason 
that merely opting *not* to use this preference and saving an image 
this way will not suffice your need?
Certainly for the "Squeak" image (vs. the "Squeakland" image) this 
may not be problemmatic as we advise any teacher, parent or child 
using Squeak to make eToys to use the "Squeakland image" which has 
this option.
