This does sound like an interesting idea, but I have a couple of
questions.

1. First of all, how do you make Squeak run directly on the frame
buffer on Linux?  I know I have seen some discussion of this before on
the list, but I couldn't find it by searching the list on GMane or
searching the swiki.

2. Although having the X Server in Squeak would be cool and allow you
to run Mozilla Firebird from "inside" Squeak, wouldn't it also be fun
to use a plugin or FFI interface to Mozilla directly?
