OK, thanks.  Will have a go at that.

In LinuxAos, the display of the Oberon subsystem opens to occupy 
about 2/3 of the display of LinuxAos.  If the Oberon display is then 
stretched, by dragging the corner, the result is a nicely proportioned 
display similar to Native Oberon.

Good, thanks.

Have tried Gadgets more than once and always came to the 
conclusion that the track interface is more self-organizing,  
or less distracting, than stacking windows.  A stacking 
windows interface, with no, tracks requires frequent adjustments 
in two dimensions to keep data visible.  The tracks in 
Oberon restrict viewer adjustments to one dimension.  Less 
distracting for me at least.  Others might find the distinction 
insignificant.

This aspect of the interface was recognized in the Alto system  
or earlier?

OK, thanks.

Thanks to everyone, for the responses,        ... Peter E.
