Hi!

I just returned from a one on one Smalltalk introduction I gave tonight.

Can you please check for differences in the current Pharo3.0 one-click-images 
for Windows and Linux?

We had issues tonight that make it quite understandable that some beginners 
might stop looking at Smalltalk after a while.

Date fromString: method
contains a method comment on Windows and on Ubuntu it doesn't even include an 
implementation.

Wow… that means that the sources file is corrupt.

The behavior of icons in the Class hierarchy are inconsitent on Ubuntu.
Where as entering a class comment changes the icons from an exclamation mark to 
the green class icon on windows; in Ubuntu the super classes of the class 
remain exclamation marks even hough they include comments.
The user thought he did something wrong,... or something is forbidden in 
general.... the meaning of the icons does not to seem self-explainatory

This, too, is related to .changes: the class comment is stored there.

(ceterum censeo: we need to kill .sources and .changes…)

Pharo 4.0 the mouse buttons are switched,... that is annoying
copy&paste from Chrome to Pharo 4.0 workspace/Playground on Ubuntu did not work 
either.

But now also something positive.
The user tried to get started in Squeak last week and spent hours to find out 
how things work and how to install stuff.
Tonight we setup pharo-launcher and two images.... 5 minutes later: "Wow,... that 
was fast! And we can start now?"
:-D

By the way! Windows 8 pharo-launcher? Is there anything special to it? I was 
not able to get it going tonight.

Cheers!
Sebastian
