OK, Construction is back to normal. Thanks very much!

Next, please take a look at the attached, where a LayoutMorph insists on
an extent of 50 at 40. I'm trying to center a StringMorph within a
BorderedRectMorph. The structure I'm aiming for is:

SystemWindow
    layoutMorph (colored)
        BorderedRectMorph (transparent)
            LayoutMorph (50 at 40 (why?), colored; to be transparent later)
                StringMorph 

Thanks,
 - Dan
