Try using the latest version of Shout on SqueakSource (Shout.3.15-tween.65.mcz).
I've just tried this in 3.9b-7037 with the ImageBrowser, and with
ShoutOmnibrowser (from SqueakMap) installed, and it works ok for me.
If you have any problems then please let me know, and I'll take a look.
Cheers,
Andy
