So, it turns out that if I try to load the Scratch.image from the iOS app
github, it *just* gives me the non-functional white screen immediately. Not
quite sure what to do with that. 

But I poked around a bit more, and discovered that in exitPresentationMode
(in ScratchFrameMorph under 'view mode'), if I change


   TakeOverScreen ifFalse: [
      Smalltalk fullScreenMode: false.
      World restoreDisplay].

to remove the 'Smalltalk fullScreenMode: false.' line:

   TakeOverScreen ifFalse: [
      World restoreDisplay].

then, exiting the presentation mode takes me to a completely functional but
full screen Scratch environment.

Is it expected that a redraw should be inserted in the middle there, or is
something else going on?
