[BUG] In an MVC project, Squeak may freeze when you change the active view

Regarding this MVC problem, obviously this is too serious a bug to allow 
in 3.7final.  What we could do is wait a couple of weeks to see if 
anyone can fix the sensor problem for MVC.  (Is anyone interested in 
working on this?)

If no one fixes it in that time, we can just revert Andreas' changeset.
