Has anyone tried running Squeak from X without a window manager per se?
Yes. I once launched Squeak from a single user console on a machine that had only 64MB RAM! Squeak can be run from within a desktop, directly from X (use -fullscreen), within a browser (using npsqueak.so plugin) or directly from the console (-vm-display-fbdev). Make sure you env settings and permissions are setup correctly. E.g.
$ startx /usr/local/bin/squeak -vm-display-X11 -swapbtn ~/squeak.image -- :1
$ squeak -vm-display-fbdev ~/squeak.image
I am not sure how much these modes are supported, though.

Thanks to everyone who replied. On FreeBSD 7.1 the best I could get was Squeak without a window manager and a World desktop that occupied about 80% of the screen.
o -fullscreen option is documented bwt not recognized.
o fbdev is not found, possibly unique to Linux.
Question: why did eveyone specify device :1 when the default is :0? I got the Same results

World is just a special PasteUp Morph. In World menu, do appearance -> full screen on to force it to fill the screen. Save the image and it will remember the size next time. The code to do this is: DisplayScreen fullScreenOn.
HTH .. Subbu

fbdev is Linux specific. I think that wscons is going to be the *BSD equivalent.
