Bert,

That's neat.  So you can steal somebody's window?! :)  This brings a
completely different thought to mind.  What would it take to connect a
squeak morph window to a OS window resource and thus have native windows
(not native widgets mind you)?  I imagine the OS event queue would have
to demux the events to the right handlers, but since we have a
EventModel in place...   St/X does a neat thing by having a device ivar
in the base window class.  This way he can open a window on a separate
XWindow server, as long as xhost is on at the remote server.  It's
really neat.

cheers,
-Rob
