Agreed that is desirable. I was considering a "refresh" menu item but I like your idea better.

Also, what about the category list? Currently it is hand-crafted. It started out with only three 
items: Pluggable, Morphic, and Morph. It grew to include anything that has four or more 
children, but with Other Classes at the bottom. I've tried to reduce the Other Classes but it's 
still 130+ in size for the base image.

The category list can be automatically generated from Smalltalk classNames by parsing for 
all terms and acronyms. A name such as "RWBinaryOrTextStream" would generate five 
categories: RW, Binary, Or, Text, and Stream. It seems that the up side would be elimination 
of Other Classes since every class would be included in some category. Also, when 
packages are loaded the list would be re-formed. The down side would be the list of 
categories is longer and some categories would only have one to three children.

What do you think? Anyone have an opinion?
