FWIW, Dolphin has an interesting approach to this kind problem. As the image loads, it creates a session manager. There is a hierarchy of such classes for GUI and headless systems. GUI session managers take care of creating and showing the app's main window.
I asked a similar question not long ago, and Andreas consisely explained that Squeak just runs, and it picks up where it left off after an image save. I'm genuinely uncertain which is better, but Dolphin seems to have some advantages as a result of the formalism. Bill Wilhelm K.
