Sounds like a sound problem: those buttons trigger a sound.
The stock Unix VM doesn't support sound at all. If you are using it, set "turn sound off" from the help menu.
However, I have written some basic support for sound in Linux. It could use some work, but it does make the correct sounds come out. This is at http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~lex/squeak/sound/. However, it doesn't support "startPlayingImmediately", so you have to edit the startPlayingImmediately: in SoundPlayer and set "dontInsertSamples" to true instead of false. (This should probably be made a preference. Then again, someone should probably implement startPlayingImmediately on Linux!). This is all explained step-by-step at the above URL, if you are willing to rebuild an image.
Then again this could be something else entirely.
