Alright, I've tried this. I saw the -vm-display-X11 option, as well. 
Here is what I am getting now:

rabbit at rabbithole:~/warren/interpreter-4.6/build$ squeak -vm-display-X11 
TrunkImage-64.image
Could not open display `(null)'.

Ok, I set $DISPLAY to ':0' and it launches the squeak vm on the 64-bit 
image, but the fonts are blocked out. I am attaching a screenshot.

That's a great idea because I am losing track of which is which.
