Ok, cool.  I will definitely do that with the Set>>atRandom: bug.  I think
it would be better if others with more experience with Squeak startup should
get to this key issue before I do - after all I'd have to figure out how to
fix that one, test it etc. and frankly, other than simply changing the
setting and saving an image with the right setting I'm not sure what to
suggest - for a running image, the change set would be to immediately change
a global not to change code, but for a new Squeak version the change set
would be to change code that I don't know how to test!
