Native windows on Pharo?

Andres Fortier-2
Hi list!
I think I finally can start a small in-house project in Pharo, which
makes me quite happy since I've been willing to do so for some time now.
I have however to solve an issue before: is there a way of using native
windows instead of the emulated ones? The app I have to work on is
pretty much based on having different independent windows floating
around :(. I saw the Native Windows thread that dates back to 2009 and
couldn't find more information on the subject, so any pointers are much
appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
Andrés

while it's generally good to have a good native windows support from VM side,
on all major platforms. It is a lot of work.  And no one is ready to
invest own time and energy
to make it work.
I started rewriting the windowing part of VM few years ago, but then
stopped. It is because
i have other things to do. And there is not much pressure from
community to have it anyways.
Seaside's camp even don't care about UI at all, since they run
headless images. So it is hard to:
 - convince people that it needs to be done
 - find people who can help with doing & testing that over multiple platforms
