Dimitris...a bit off topic... but... isn't it a bit too much to load all your packages every time you start your image? I am sure it takes some seconds if not minutes (depending what to load). Since Smalltalk gives us persistency for free (image), why isn't it enough to simply build and save an image and use that one? And when needed, build another one. What I mean is....instead of loading everything in every image startup, load your packages and dependency only when creating new images...
