Tim, that would be  a *fun* project, however tweak was easy because  
it's project world is an instance and referring to the display  or to  
the eventsensor queue leads to an instance variable, versus a global.  
So  with Areithfa Ffenestri we could set to the Areithfa Ffenestri  
window display, and dispatch events from the VM to the window keyed  
eventsensor for a tweak project. Plus of course the coordinate  
systems was 0,0 in a project and asking for the cooridnates involved  
tweak mapping the eventsensor values to tweak values which works just  
fine
when dealing with tweak in the main window or a window containing a  
tweak project, mapping is different but that just means a different  
subclass of the tweak project class.

With morphic you refer directly to the eventsensor and display  
without any concept of a window so there is not even at times  
anywhere to ask/go/find what window you are getting events from or  
should be rendering too.  In my sophie image there is 435 usages of  
Display, 269 of Sensor, nontrivial issue.
