Pato,
That looks like a viable hack. :) It is my understanding that RPi can boot into a special, slimmed-down VM version just for Scratch. Is that not the case? For instance, when in Scratch, I cannot simply exit Scratch and go back to the desktop - quitting scratch issues a shutdown. Can I do the same for eToys? Part of it is that I do not fully understand how "boot to Scratch" works, so I would like to learn that if I can.
You should probably ask this on the Squeak developers list, as there are many more developers subscribed to that than here:

As an aside, any idea why eToys is filed under "non-free" extensions for RPi?
Because the Debian gate-keepers do not like the image-based nature of Smalltalk development; it impedes their usual text-based workflow.
See /usr/share/doc/etoys/README.non-free
