Well, removing the ones that the image came with (that I know about),
or that I created, I have (this is the stock image that I got, a 2440
image from
the 'net somewhere):

a SystemWindow('TTSampleString' 2882)
a SystemWindow('arupa 520:Desktop Folder:Squeak2.8a-beo Folder' 3172)
a SystemWindow('Changes go to "Unnamed1"' 128)
a SystemWindow('ChangeSet: 2073buttonRowClip-sw' 411)
a SystemWindow('Selector Browser' 2905)
a SystemWindow('assembly' 98)
a SystemWindow('scripting area' 1216)
a SystemWindow('System Browser' 2509)
a SystemWindow('Package Browser' 2235)
a SystemWindow('Workspace' 658)

What's weird about this is that these windows don't get garbage
collected, even
after being closed.

When I've been working for a while, I get many more. Last time I looked,
it was
about 24. Of these, 7 went away finally when I sent "breakDependents" to
them.

Some are being pointed at by globals or class variables (like, for
instance,
the FreeCell high-score window).

I don't know how windows/morphs are supposed to break their
dependencies;
is there a specific set of messages that need to be responded to? I've
seen
#delete and #release but don't know what each are supposed to do or when
they
get called.
