I guess I should have posted this with a different subject to indicate
that there is a Squeak enhancement, so here it is again.

>Here's the preamble text:
>This enhancement to Morphic popup scrollbars optimizes for slow
hardware
>by displaying scrollbars only for panes which can be scrolled. This
>eliminates some of the choppy feel of the UI for slow computers. There
>is also a new preference entry called optimizeMorphicScrollbars.
>
>It only works under Morphic, but MVC performs well enough that it isn't
>really needed there. I also added a Preferences entry to turn the
>feature on/off (default is off).

>Thanks Dan for your help,
