Does it slowly repaint the entire Squeak window line by line? I've
seen this on Ubuntu Edgy but not Dapper or Gentoo. I suspect it's
caused by some X/Squeak version incompatability issue given I've used
the same VM and image on both Edgy and Gentoo. Edgy is painfully slow
while Gentoo runs at the normal speed.
