1. general confusedness... -- nothing that isn't already beeing taken
care of....

2. Poor object behavior... What I mean by that is System Dictionary
seems to be designed to operate as an environment and its object
behavior is quite poor -- a mere artifiact of it being written in
smalltalk rather than a useful feature. This is even more the case with
Display because there doesn't seem to be any way to use it with
multi-window systems, remote X sessions, and systems with multiple
physical displays... 

I wish I could explain myself better. =P
