StartupUIManager uses WordState directly.
This patch makes safer use of deffered messages.

Tx pavel
Marcus I will tag these fix for 1.3 because this is good to make the  
production of small images easier.

Thanks. Good catch. Startup should not assume that there are morphic loaded.

Now with this trick and with CommandLine manager, i more and more thinking  
about the need to have a separate "do this after startup" stage feature.

Because right now, the only thing which we have is #addDeferredUIMessage:
Maybe we should add a protocol to UI manager/Smalltalk to perform some  
action(s) after startup is done.
So, it may look as 2-stage startup, where on first stage you initializing  
critical parts of your system, which in case of failure leads to leaving  
from image to OS,
while in second stage, you are free to do anything (and can use UI, if it  
available).

Yes. I do not like to have code like that. I would prefer to have a nice  
infrastructure fixing the problem.
So I integrate the fix and open a new ticket.
