Trouble getting slate gui started from instructions

[Brian Rice]

First, there are errors happening that are being skipped. Basically  
one error is precipitating the rest. Type "repl noviceMode: False."  
to get a debugging context any time an error occurs. Maybe this  
should be in a message when skipped - unfortunately there's not a way  
to save the stack as a continuation to debug after-the-fact.

Second, windows.slate starts with "ensureNamespace: #Windows ..."  
which conflicts with a new REPL feature where the implicit context is  
another namespace that delegates to the lobby, not the lobby itself  
(part of an attempt to make persistent REPL workspaces).

I have uploaded a patch that fixes this (to "lobby ensureNamespace:  
#Windows ..." and cleans up some other code in the same file. Let me  
know if that works.
