There are a few external UI-building tools such as BobsUI which people
have worked on to handle this sort of thing... including widgets such as
pull-down menus, etc. (Although Squeak already includes most of the
basic widgets that you'd need, there just a bit more scattered and hard
to find.)
See:

Hmm, I notice that the 3.0 version of BobsUI doesn't seem to be
accessible from its SqueakMap location anymore... someone ought to
upload it to the Swiki if they have a copy lying around.
