Well, it appears the problem is present in the production 5.2 image
with stock Preference settings too!   :(

Here are exact steps to reproduce using the production 5.2 image:

1) launch Squeak5.2.

2) Click "Skip" to remove the "Welcome To Squeak" banner.  Close the
"Welcome To Squeak" window, too.

3) Click in the search bar in the upper right, type "asFloat" (without
quotes), and press [Return].  The window showing implementors is shown
with the first method selected.

4) Make it dirty.  Click in the text pane and insert a space.

5) Click on the second method.  Squeak displays, "Changes have not been
saved, is it okay to cancel those changes?"

6) Click "No".

7) Now try to click on the desktop.  The dialog keeps coming back.
