Avi,

You're right - that's a bit annoying when you have to force-quit 
on any error. I neglected to implement the VM function that 
determines whether the Squeak window is active, which is used to 
decide whether to put up a Morphic debugger window or a wx debugger.

The obnoxious zoom transition is the default for wxWidgets, but I found 
that that there is a relatively new wxSystemOptions class that lets you 
turn this off. I'll have to add this to the API. For now, I stuck it in 
the VM startup, so it's much smoother opening windows.

I posted an update to the OS X VM (0.3.1) that addresses these two 
problems. The wx debugger doesn't layout its panes properly (something
to do with splitters), but at least it doesn't freeze.

I haven't spent much time on the Mac side yet, so I'm sure there are
other issues as well. But OS X is a critical platform for me personally, 
so I'm anxious to get it working.

.. Rob
