For depricated, just orphan RectangleLikeMorph and BorderedRectMorph and 
make them subclasses of WidgetMorph.

I think the above good ideas.

Pandora's idea: refactor Morphic-Widgets-Extras and Morphic-Misc1 to 
separate out the tool-like things (radio buttons, value entry, window 
title) from play-like things (mangnifier, line, bordered image).  I 
could go either way on PickA*Pallet's.

I think we could use Layout{Morph,Spec}EditPanel(s) as examples in the 
book.
