Scratch "Playing-mode" for Linux
I'm a Linux user and Scratch works perfectly fine with my xubuntu 9.04, except for presentation mode, which is necessary for some of my games to play.
If I close presentation mode, the SqueakVM freezes and I have to use xkill to close it.
There should be a "Play-Mode" for Scratch, it would be pretty much like presentation mode, but not full screen so the SqueakVM doesn't crash. Optionally, you could choose between enlarged mode (same size as presentation mode, but slow), normal mode (normal size) and small mode (like small stage, for very small screens).
The delayed click in non-presentation mode is really annoying, please add this Play-Mode.

They said this problem in the notes for the linux version installer. That SqueakVM Does not work well after closing presentation mode.
That's why I suggested this, it's hard to create projects (especially games!) without presentation mode.

I think presentation mode works well in Linux if you disable Compiz
Thank you! With xfwm it works perfectly. 
I didn't realize that compiz was the problem, I always used it for some neat effects. 
Now I don't have to use my Windows VM anymore to make Scratch projects!
