Is there some reason that the View methods "display" and "display::"
are "equivalent" to calls to "display:::" with preset parameters, rather
than ACTUAL calls to this method?  I've been having some difficulty trying
to implement some dragging routines while still using drawSelf::, and
though I replaced display::: (with another method that just prints out
a note that it is being called, then calls [super display:::), this method
never gets called.  Instead, gdb reveals the some system internal routine
starting with _display:: is called instead to handle the traversal down
the view hierarchy and calls to drawSelf::.  Needless to say, this makes
customization of my subclass of View rather difficult.

Comments, anyone?
