No, just bog-standard Squeak running bog-standard images on X11. Both
a 3.10 image and the latest Pharo image do it.

Another problem is that killing the VM violently will prevent the rest
of X processing events well. The XTerm that I'm returned to after
killing Squeak won't accept any keyboard events. I consider this a bug
in X though: by that stage, Squeak is dead and shouldn't affect the
rest of the windowing system.

In other news, trunk doesn't build:

gcc -O3 -mtune=core2 -DLSB_FIRST=1 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
-I/home/mikevdg/src/squeakvm-trunk/squeak-svn/platforms/unix/bld
-I/home/mikevdg/src/squeakvm-trunk/squeak-svn/platforms/unix/vm
-I/home/mikevdg/src/squeakvm-trunk/squeak-svn/platforms/Cross/vm
-I/home/mikevdg/src/squeakvm-trunk/squeak-svn/platforms/unix/src/vm -c
/home/mikevdg/src/squeakvm-trunk/squeak-svn/platforms/unix/vm-sound-pulse/sqUnixSoundPulseAudio.c
 -fPIC -DPIC -DPIC -o sqUnixSoundPulseAudio.o
/home/mikevdg/src/squeakvm-trunk/squeak-svn/platforms/unix/vm-sound-pulse/sqUnixSoundPulseAudio.c:51:26:
error: pulse/simple.h: No such file or directory

Easily fixed, but this should pick up the lack of PulseAudio and not
try to build that plugin.
