Usability

I have started forward porting my own hacks to the code into the new
version and I have run into a number of serious usability issues.

1. The tabs on the sides and bottom of the screen that have been in
Squeak 3.4 >> 3.7  are not there. This roughly quintuples the ammount of
time it takes me to open my most commonly used things like the
transcript and stuff. There is a fair ammount of functionality that I
just can't find using the menu.

2. The browser is worse than any other version I've ever seen in Squeak.
	A: It's not green, therefore I find it difficult to find in a mess of
other windows.
	B. It has no menus so that I can't switch it to pretty/color, print mode.
