I think that your VM is missing a couple of necessary plugins. The
XDisplayControlPlugin is used to close the socket connection to the
X display in the new child VM/image. You may also be missing the
OSProcessPlugin.

Note, I developed this in Squeak on Linux, so it may be that some work
would be needed for Pharo. If you have a Squeak image handy, you might
want to look at it there.
