Along those lines - I'm not sure how wxSqueak handles this, but
Seaside definitely needs  "UIManager default" to be some form of
dynamic variable (process-local, or walk the stack), rather than a
global.  I'm surprised Tweak doesn't need that too; don't you have
cases where Morphic is running in one scope and Tweak in another, and
you'd want to pop up the right dialog depending on where you were when
you sent #inform:?
