The squeak ebuild currently creates a symbolic link in /usr/bin to run the squeak executable that's build and put into /usr/lib/squeak/$VERSION. There are a number of things that could be done with a script to launch the squeak executable (instead of the symbolic link?) that are useful. For example, I run my squeak like this: artsdsp /usr/lib/squeak/3.7-7/squeak -display unix:0 -swapbtn -xshm -nomixer $1 & "artsdsp" could be included (optionally on use flag?) if the user has KDE emerged - without this command squeak doesn't make sounds (or alternatively grabs all the sound output and prevents an artsd instance starting up and making noises if one wasn't running already). The display argument could be included on inclusion of the X use flag. The "swapbtn" argument is really useful as it makes squeak behave much more like "normal" windowing systems in terms of right-click really being right-click (much more newbie friendly). There are plenty of examples of other switches that may be included, dependant on use flags.
Thanks for suggesting this idea. Although, i think this kind of script would be too much user-specific , and i prefer to avoid having this kind of stuff setup, and keep it minimal. Thanks again!
