Hi john When I'm doing /Applications/Squeak/Squeak\ 4.2.2beta1U.app/Contents/MacOS/Squeak\ VM\ Opt coral.image I get 2009-12-30 22:38:01.629 Squeak VM Opt[31852:903] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/Inquisitor Also this is strange but I have the impression that the image starts seems slower (of course I have around or more 20 app open).
