[Bug 301190] Re: etoys does not launch

[arand]

Jaunty launches properly and app seems to work fine with proposed
update.

Noticed two random crashes, which may be completely unrelated.
My guess is that they are down to general instability.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: etoys

** SRU **

In the development release of Ubuntu, this has been fixed by upgrading to a later version of squeak-vm with SHM support. As is, etoys cannot be started via the "etoys" command or from the menu; the user must edit /usr/games/etoys manually. 

** TEST CASE **
$ etoys

{the application should not start and a usage message is displayed}
{proper behavior: etoys main window is displayed}
** END TEST CASE **

This has little regression potential since etoys does not work as is, no other applications rdepend on it, and this is a isolated change to a single script. 

Bzr branch attached. 

** END SRU **

After attempting to run a fresh installation of Etoys from the Ubuntu repository, it fails to launch. The message "unknown option: -xshm"  is left in the terminal.
