I don't know how familiar you are with irc channels , but that is pretty much standard behaviour. So no its definitely not a reason to close channel. I rather help people who keep trying to learn pharo than people who give up too easily to be frank with you. Quantity is not Quality ;) On Sat, Jun 21, 2014 at 6:41 PM, Max Leske <maxleske@gmail.com> wrote:

too small community for an irc channel. My experience with irc is that 90-99% of people logged in at least are idle. For its size #pharo is quite active actually.
Probably true. We should consider closing it. Weâve had people there asking questions before. Some of them didnât get an answer at all (bad image for us) or were pointed to the mailing list which they probably would have tried anyway if the channel hadnât existed...
sorry can't help you with your question :(
Thanks anyway :)

Sorry about that. Hereâs my original question as posted on IRC:
Hi guys. I have a couple of SystemWindow instances sitting around in my image which canât be garbage collected. They all once showed a debugger but that debugger seems to be only referenced by the window. Iâm kind of running in circles. Does anyone have an idea how to find the root pointers which prevent garbage collection of an object? Using PointerFinder manually isnât helping much (Iâm in a Pharo 1.1.1 image).
Cheers, Max
