   What does it mean for a "view object" to have 0 size?  It means it doesn't 
exist...  It's virtually impossible for the user to manipulate it then too.  
If it's impossible to manipulate or see, then how and why was it created in 
the first place?

  That guard has to be propagated to at least as many places (all view 
objects, layout algorithms, etc).  Right now there is a precondition (and 
that's why there was an assert()) that objects must have content (ie. have a 
non-null pixmap).  The user interaction implementation is breaking that 
precondition.
