Personally now I do not care because I cannot continue to work with a system that I have to save after every accept. This is totally insane. Thomas on Ubuntu CANNOT even open Pharo. I'm on mac.

But then do not count on me to improve anything on Pharo for a while (and may be this is the solution after all working on my own little programs is really tempting).
