Well, the plugin to get stuff to display is only the first part.
The second part is getting user interaction from these widgets back
into the image. The new event stuff offers some hope in that
direction, after all, only four or five of about 4 billion different
event-types have been used up yet ;-)
I haven't gotten around to it, but one of the things on my to-do
list is a "send message to squeak object" event.
