Hey, I think you guys are doing a great job, no complaints at all, just
wondering what the goal actually was, nice to know.  Personally,
anything that makes Squeak look more like an adult platform and less
like something for kids to play with, I'm all behind.  I want to see
Squeak taken seriously as a development platform, and it's current
default UI makes that impossible.  Your LookEnhancements is on of the
first packages I load, along with native windows fonts.

So if you really see Squeak as an OS, a view I share, what's it going to
take to get multiple monitor support so full screen is actually full
screen and I'm not stuck on one screen with windows on the other?  I'm
guessing that's in the VM and is a much bigger task than just a look
enhancement, just curious?
