The problem is that you have to have the "panes" in the paneMorphs 
collection of the system window.

Just dropping them into a holder isn't going to work.

Part of the problem is that the holder is responsible for the layout 
and event handling of its own submorphs. So even if the window knows 
about the holder, it won't do anything about its submorphs.

I don't know how to do what you need to do via direct manipulation, 
but it's pretty easy in code.

You use addMorph:fullFrame: to set up the proportional size of the 
submorph; this also adds the morph to the paneMorphs collection.
