I'm not sure that that's even used any more. And even if it were, I 
don't believe that you're using it the way it wants to be used... I 
think it needs to have an internal World. Take a look at the examples 
on the class side (but save your image first, because you won't be 
able to escape the inner world!).

And, as you note, its layout is messed up.

ProjectViewMorph (inside a SystemWindow) and EmbeddedWorldBorder seem 
to be used currently.

You can see how these operate by creating a new Morphic Project and 
then returning to the previous project, where you should see 
(depending on your Preferences) a little SystemWindow with a 
thumbnail of the world you just left. This thumbnail is a 
ProjectViewMorph.

If you click-and-hold the red button over the thumbnail (perhaps 
moving the mouse a tiny bit after a while), a menu will come up 
eventually. Choose "ENTER ACTIVE" and you'll see the world-in-world 
stuff that's currently used (an EmbeddedWorldBorder with a scaled 
view of the world inside it).

What are you trying to do with the WorldWindow?
