In the end I managed to open a windows this way:

(GTK.GtkMessageDialog new: nil flags: 0 type: 3 buttons: 0 message: 'This is a 
test.') run

But it opens a blank (actually gray) unclosable window, and I don’t know

Did it, but until now it seems to perform just the same so I temporarily
make uninstalled it.

PS: is text/smalltalk the right mime-type for smalltalk programs? I
didn’t find any registered.
