[Cuis-dev] location of windows opened from World menu

[Mark Volkmann]

One thing I wasn't handling properly was opening windows triggered from
code (such as a "Do It" performed in another window) rather than from the
World menu.
I updated my code to do that. For example, if you enter something like this
in a Workspace:

#(1 2 3) inspect

and "Do It", the SystemWindow instance method openInWorld: now detects that
the window is not being opened from a menu, gets the location of the
HandMorph, and opens the window so its upper-left corner is at the
HandMorph location.

The attached screenshot shows this where the hand was right after the
expression before I pressed cmd-d to "Do It'".
