this stuff is so complicated!

OK, I can live with that. So I thought the trivial thing to be able to
display the initial condition was to do this in the ObserverSwarm

-activateIn: (id) swarmContext {
  [super activateIn: swarmContext];
  [displaySchedule activateIn: self];
  [modelSwarm activateIn: self];
  return [self getActivity];
}

but there's a hidden gotcha here. The display is now *behind* the
model in terms of time. That means that click-to-probe in a Raster
doesn't work right. Bummer.

It should be possible to click on a probe window to have it
automatically update itself to the exact value right now. Maybe just a
mouse binding to do
 [probeDisplayManager update];
As it stands now, probes *look* like they're reflecting the current
state of objects, but in fact they may or may not be..
