This sounds hard.

I was thinking of sticking a new superclass in above Morph.
Call it ProtoMorph.  Create a simple RectangleMorph clone that derives 
from ProtoMorph.

Stick a RectangleMorph and a ProtoRectangleMorph side by side and move 
logic up to ProtoMorph until ProtoRectangleMorph is minimally useful.  
Stop and reassess.
