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. We�ve had people there asking questions before. Some of them didn�t 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 hadn�t existed...

sorry can't help you with your question :(

Thanks anyway :)

Sorry about that. Here�s my original question as posted on IRC:

Hi guys.
I have a couple of SystemWindow instances sitting around in my image which can�t be garbage collected. They all once showed a debugger but that debugger seems to be only referenced by the window.
I�m 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 isn�t helping much (I�m in a Pharo 1.1.1 image).

Cheers,
Max
