[squeak-dev] can't start Squeak on one Ubuntu system anymore

Okay, up and running.  As Bert pointed out, ldd told me which modules
were missing.  But what package are those modules in?  By using dpkg
-S on the _working_ machine on the actual missing module names, and
then going back to the origina machine to install the :i386 version of
that package, I ended up installing libX11-6:i386, libice6:i386,
libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 and libsm6:i386.

After all that, and also after tweaking the standard "squeak" script
included wiht Cog (because it's been broken on Ubuntu for ages), I
can, once again, run Squeak on this machine.

If I hadn't had access to the working laptop, I don't know what I
would have done.  Hopefully we'll be able to improve Squeak's
accessibility someday..
