Thanks Torsten for reporting. I don't think this is a stopper for 1.0 at all.
We can release an older VM without that problem ? Even more because the new version 4 doesn't bring anything new for Pharo. isn't it ? The only problem where ImageSegment...Ok, I rather to have working this thing of closing the windows. Can you tell us exactly the link of the previous vm that was working ? because we are doing the one-click now and we took the 4. Then, for 1.1 open a ticket so that someone try to fix the problem with the version 4.
