Okey, I hadn't read your question carefully :) Looking at TextModel>>sourceTextArea, it returns the widget of the model, meaning the adapter to PluggableTextMorph. The adapter (and the Morph behind) is instantiated during the building (called in openWithSpec) of the model, not its initialization.
In short, when you call RewriteTool new, you have a fully initialized description of the GUI, but you don't have the GUI.
