If you have instances you cannot get rid of with:

	DisplayScreen initSystem
or ApplicationWindow removeInstances, then there is only one way out:

	<Myclass> allInstances [ :c | c become: (String new:0) ].

Where ofcourse <Myclass> is the class that has the instances. This
leaves some pointers pointing to an unexpected object. If you really
experience this problem often, take a clean image and file in your changes
(Isn't a bad idea anyway).
