[UI] Morphic restructuring

[Bill Schwab]

Tim,

Agreed, and then some.  I would not be upset by a framework that can
work down to the individual widget, but what you describe would give
most of the benefits of host integration and very few of the hassles. 
In that, I am assuming (a safe bet I think) that Gary will ensure that
the feel is sufficiently configurable that we will not need an outside
framework to impose discipline re keyboard focus, etc.

Our basic intent when designing Ffenestri was to allow pretty much any  
usage. If you want to map a single SystemWindow level object to a host  
window then that would be good and would match most needs in typical  
applications. Don't forget to consider floating palette type windows  
as well - those that accompany a main window and provide a palette of  
tool icons etc. And menus could be implemented by opening a short  
lived small window; this might well be much simpler and more portable  
than trying to hook cleanly into every OS menu api, whilst allowing  
the menu to be taller than a small app. window if needed.
