Thats awesome but I cant open my pharo image anymore , I dont mind
starting
from a new image and reinstalling everything
but I was wondering if there is a way to recover all that or am I screwed

You have a talent at screwing things up :)
But your feedback is invaluable, which helping to spot details , which
obvious to me but not for a newcomer.
Yeah, concerning screwed image: in such cases i usually run it with VM
which does not includes NativeBoost, then it fails with error.. and
you can close morphs/debugger save image and can continue work with
Cog VM.. it is , of course not always works, because it depends how
badly things screwed up. :)
Igor, could you add code to start the session without gui, run a bit of
smalltalk code to destroy the dangling surfaces and save again ?
It would probably save the day a few times :)
yes, i am already thinking on it.
The thing which i want to do is to put a session check in #drawDuring: method,
to check if surface is still valid.
And if its not, then shoot the caller :)
If you have a better/more general idea how/where to do it, feel free to suggest.

An idea for more general recovery options....
Using the Pharo command-line processing, have some "recovery" commands
that execute and quit before any UI processing is started. For example...
* list/close open windows
* list/close running processes
* list/revert recent method changes
