Take a look at Morphic. I think it owes more to Self than the UI-* in VW
(there would seem to be some kind of Morphic in VW, but I've yet to take
a look).

They're pretty much in there already, but the syntax for scripting them
is different (from a simplified Python to Smalltalk). Just download
Squeak and choose play with me 7 and you'll find a very familiar
character! You'll also find some basic details of how to import more
actors (Alice objects). If I remember correctly, there's more about this
at www.squeak.org and maybe something at www.alice.org.

I'm a newcomer to both, but they both belong to the same dialect of
Smalltalk, so going from one to the other should'nt be that difficult.
And I know for a fact that many of the VisualWorks and Self communities
also use and keep an eye on Squeak, so there is a lot of help out there.
