The most obvious way is to simply prepare your image to "be" the app. So
you simply "leave" the image in the state that you want it when it comes
up.

There are also packages for this - for example

PS. One of the superb strengths of Squeak is its self built totally
immersive and crossplatform UI. The reason I am building the GtkPlugin
is so that I can reuse all that hard work in the Gtk world. This does
not mean that I don't appreciate the superb graphical abilities in
Squeak. IMHO the more possibilities and choices we have for our tasks at
hand - the better.
