Looks like we need to bring the Unix code up to date with the more recent 
changes.

Specifically, the changes to sq.h that were made for host window support are 
the ones that have caused the problems you describe. And we could add a 
getImageName() to the Unix VM as well.

The reserved fields are now used to pass a windowIndex up to the image. And, 
umm, I haven't done that yet.
