Hi sebastien

Welcome!
in Pharo what you do is that you can bundle a reduced image (memory dump)
with a set of vm. This is what the oneclick is doing.

our goal for the short term is to have a minimal system in which you can load the
packages you want.

Now about the ui. For now you can only have one main window.
There were some attempts to provide support for cross platform ui like WVXwidgets
but I do not know the status.

At the beginning of Pharo Gwenael Casaccio worked on a binding for GTK for Squeak.
People did not react enough so he ported it to GNU Smalltalk. Now if we find the code
I imagine that this can be resurrected. For us this is a question of manpower
not vision.

Stef
