I following your exchange with Ron.
My tip.
To a Ned Preferences disableProgrammerFacilities method I usually add a
modified World menu
!TheWorldMenu methodsFor: 'construction' stamp: 'edc 1/29/2006 07:18'!
buildWorldMenu
"Build the menu that is put up when the screen-desktop is
clicked on"
| menu |
menu := MenuMorph new defaultTarget: self.
menu commandKeyHandler: self.
self colorForDebugging: menu.
menu addStayUpItem.
self fillIn: menu from: {{'restore display (r)'. {World.
#restoreMorphicDisplay}. 'repaint the screen -- useful for removing unwanted
display artifacts, lingering cursors, etc.'}. nil}.
Preferences simpleMenus
ifFalse: [self fillIn: menu from: {{'open...'. {self. #openWindow}}.
{'windows...'. {self. #windowsDo}}. {'changes...'. {self. #changesDo}}}].
self fillIn: menu from: {{'help...'. {self. #helpDo}. 'puts up a menu of
useful items for updating the system, determining what version you are
running, and much else'}. {'appearance...'. {self. #appearanceDo}. 'put up a
menu offering many controls over appearance.'}}.
Preferences simpleMenus
ifFalse: [self fillIn: menu from: {{'do...'. {Utilities.
#offerCommonRequests}. 'put up an editible list of convenient expressions,
and evaluate the one selected.'}}].
self fillIn: menu from: {
nil.
{'new morph...' . { self . #newMorph }. 'Offers a variety of ways
to create new objects'}.
nil.}.
Preferences simpleMenus
ifFalse: [self fillIn: menu from: {{'debug...'. {self. #debugDo}. 'a
menu of debugging items'}}].
self fillIn: menu from: {nil. {'save'. {SmalltalkImage current.
#saveSession}. 'save the current version of the image on disk'}. {'save
as...'. {SmalltalkImage current. #saveAs}. 'save the current version of the
image on disk under a new name.'}. {'save as new version'. {SmalltalkImage
current. #saveAsNewVersion}. 'give the current image a new version-stamped
name and save it under that name on disk.'}. {'save and quit'. {self.
#saveAndQuit}. 'save the current image on disk, and quit out of Squeak.'}.
{'quit'. {self. #quitSession}. 'quit out of Squeak.'}}.

Compare with what you have in your image and suit to needs.
Also I usually add a makeRTS method to things what I develop and wihst
close.
This is a morphic button what sends the button to the class in use, do all
Ned trick and mine adds, save image with wishd name and destroy button.
Former I cook SqueakLight, my striped first and load what I wish version of
Squeak. I could produce a 3.7 version based app as small as 3.8 Mb and grow
to what you need (see what is in official Squeak site)
For managing updates in a form similar to what Squeak uses , I use a
commercial free 24/24 server.
The complete process could be used, I have on my ftp several semi closed own
versions of what a Squeak app could be from different times, for pople could
be how this have some years of evolution.
