Hi!

I wanted to familiarize myself with Moose and the GlamourToolkit.

Since 2 days I try to load a stable and fully working environment but it is not poassible no matter how many combinations of version ans repositories I use.

Here are the steps I would expect to result in a working Moose-Image based on a Pharo 3.0 virgin image.

Download a Pharo 3.0 installation.
Sytem - Software update (with and without this step... no different result)
Open Workspace and execute this:

Gofer new
    smalltalkhubUser: 'Moose' project: 'Moose';
    configuration;
    loadStable.   (or loadDevelopment but both have the same results)

While loading the Moose package, I get several warnings about missing prerequisites or application that are about to be modified (mainly GTSpotter and Context related issues). I guess the load order is not right there.

Now here are my bugs:
- Pharo Critic Browser is broken after loading Moose. I attached the stack. No I didn't it is 8mb,... too much for the forum, I guess
- On a small netbook screen one can't import smalltalk code into Moose. The final import form/widget is so big, that the "finish" button can not be pressed and the widget can't be moved. A different layout might be helpful. The taskbar overlays and intercapts mouse events.
- When I want to close a Model in Moose Panel and I close the main tab I get a massive amount of debuggers and it is better to shutdown the image.
- Roassal widgets with text overlays show a red background debugger on mouse over events. StrikeFont dnu.... (LocalFont glyphRendererOn:). I meanwhile know that I can solve this by changing the Font settings of my image.
- The Moose Panel's tabs behaves wierd. On mouse over they change the size of the tab's labels and one can't read and localize the desired tab anymore. This gets worse when you have many tabs opened
- When I just close one of many tabs in Moose panel, I get errors regarding doLayout is not understood by undefined Object and the whole image freezes or after a further clicks,... the image is swamped with debuggers.

Now, even when Pharo seems to have issues already. I go on an try this:

Gofer new
     smalltalkhubUser: 'Moose' project: 'GToolkit';
     configuration;
     loadStable.
#GTImageSetupCommandLineHandler asClass new activateWithoutSaving

- it is unclear to me how I can start the gtspotter....
- Open playground do a 1 inspect and get a Debugger saying SmallInteger class dnu allSLots

Okay this is the last thing that makes the most enthusiastic user go away from .... I hope not Smalltalk.

I started a software night here in town last Tuesday and I want to add Smalltalk flavour. So far they where amazed about it but I used VASmalltalk to show a "real live development system" sinceI know that it is bullit proof. And it was.
But I also want to introduce the aspect of Smalltalk as tool and that is where Phaor and Moose come in... it would be great if I had a stable image that I could use for future nights.

It would be great if somebody could look into that.

Cheers!
Sebastian
