I don???t suppose anyone has built a suitable unix host window proxy that I simply haven???t spotted yet? IIRC we were discussing using these prims to handle window resizing and title setting instead of  whatever is in place right now?

I dimly recall that there were working examples involving host windows
other than the main Squeak display for Windows and Risc OS and Mac, but
nothing that I know of for Unix. So this is as close as we have ever gotten
for the Unix VM.

I also recall window support with a project with a wierd name starting
with too many 'f' letters, ah yes "Areithfa Ffenestri" (couldn't you have
just used a Japanese name?) http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/3862 

It looks like someone did some work with this for Pharo back in 2009,
probably that was in the "rebranded" Squeak 3.9 era. Apparently there is
no HostWindowProxy for Unix at this point, so I guess this might be as
good a time as any time to do one.
